General Intelligence Number Series Number Series Question #6562 (CAT-I)

Find the wrong number in the given series: 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18

A 6
B 9
C 14
D 15
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option C
• The series is formed by two alternating sequences: Odd positions: 3, 7, 11, 15 3 + 4 = 7 7 + 4 = 11 11 + 4 = 15 (Correct) Even positions: 6, 9, 14, 18 6 + 3 = 9 9 + 4 = 13 13 + 5 = 18 • Instead of 14, the number should be 13 to follow the +3, +4, +5 pattern. • Therefore, 14 is the wrong number.
