Question

In the following number series, a wrong number is given. Find out the wrong number.

536, 500, 475, 460, 450, 446

1. 536
2. 475
3. 460
4. 450
5. 446

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 460

Given:

536, 500, 475, 460, 450, 446

Calculation:

The logic follows here is:

536 - (6)² = 536 - 36 = 500

500 - (5)² = 500 - 25 = 475

475 - (4)² = 475 - 16 = 459 ≠ 460

459 - (3)² = 459 - 9 = 450

450 - (2)² = 450 - 4 = 446

There should be 459 instead of 460.

∴ 460 is the wrong term.
