1. 62
2. 3805
3. 190
4. 22836
5. 30

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 190

Concept Used:

x × n + n = y

Calculation:

Series = 29, 30, 62, 190, 760, 3805, 22836

29 × 1 + 1 = 30

30 × 2 + 2 = 62

62 × 3 + 3 = 189 

189 × 4 + 4 = 760

760 × 5 + 5 = 3805

3805 × 6 + 6 = 22836

⇒ Wrong number = 190

∴ The wrong number in given series is 190.
