General Intelligence Number Series Number Series Question #6551 (CAT-I)

Identify the incorrect (wrong) number in the sequence: 232, 343, 454, 564, 676

A 232
B 343
C 454
D 564
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option D
• In all terms except 564, the first (hundreds) and third (units) digits are identical: In 232: hundreds digit = 2, units digit = 2 In 343: hundreds digit = 3, units digit = 3 In 454: hundreds digit = 4, units digit = 4 In 676: hundreds digit = 6, units digit = 6 • For 564, the hundreds digit is 5 and the units digit is 4 (which should be 565). • Hence, 564 is the wrong number.
