General Intelligence Number Series Number Series Question #6550 (CAT-I)

Find the wrong number in the following series: 6, 12, 21, 32, 45, 60

A 12
B 21
C 6
D 32
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option C
• The differences between consecutive terms should form an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2: 5 + 7 = 12 12 + 9 = 21 21 + 11 = 32 32 + 13 = 45 45 + 15 = 60 • To maintain this series, the first term should be 5 instead of 6. • Therefore, 6 is the wrong number.
