Find out the wrong number in the series.
7, 8, 18, 57, 228, 1165, 6996

Correct option is D

​$$\text{Let's look at the ratios or patterns between consecutive terms. We will check the relation between the terms using the multiplication or addition method.} \\\text{8} = 7 \times 1 + 1 \\\text{18} = 8 \times 2 + 2 \\\text{57} = 18 \times 3 + 3 \\\text{228} = 57 \times 4 + 4 \\\text{1165} = 228 \times 5 + 5 \\\text{6996} = 1165 \times 6 + 6$$228 is the wrong term in the series.​
