26. Find the Wrong Term : 5930, 4900, 7056, 3969, 8281, 3136 Ans : (c) Wrong term is 5930

Solution : The series is combination of two series increase and decrease by 7 : 77² 70² 84² 63² 91² 56²

27. Find the Wrong Term : 85, 88, 182, 550, 2232, 11175 Ans : (d) Wrong term is 550

Solution : 85 * 1 + 3 = 88, 88 * 2 + 6 = 182, 182 * 3 + 9 = 555, 555 * 4 + 12 = 2232, 2232 * 5 + 15 = 11175

28. Find the Wrong Term : 46, 300, 430, 494, 526, 542 Ans : (b) Wrong term is 300

Solution : Move from Right to left the series is : -16, -32, -64, -128, -256

29. Find the Wrong Term : 11, 12, 28, 93, 310, 1965 Ans : (d) Wrong term is 310

Solution : 11 * 1 + 1² = 12, 12 * 2 + 2² = 28, 28 * 3 + 3² = 93, 93 * 4 + 4² = 388, So 310 was wrong

30. Find the Wrong Term : 12, 6.8, 7.5, 12.75, 27.5, 71.25 Ans : (d) Wrong term is 6.8

Solution : 12 * 0.5 + 0.5 = 6.5, 6.5 * 1 + 1 = 7.5, 7.5 * 1.5 + 1.5 = 12.75, 12.75 * 2 + 2 = 27.5 .....
