    Find the wrong number in the given series. 18, 24, 36, 60, 110, 204
    Question

    Find the wrong number in the given series.
    18, 24, 36, 60, 110, 204

    A.

    110

    B.

    18

    C.

    24

    D.

    204

    Correct option is A

    The series given is: 18, 24, 36, 60, 110, 204
    Step-by-Step Pattern Analysis:
    1. 18 to 24: +6
    2. 24 to 36: +12
    3. 36 to 60: +24
    4. 60 to 110: +50
    5. 110 to 204: +94
    We observe that the differences between terms are: +6, +12, +24, +50, and +94.
    Observing the Pattern:
    The pattern does not follow a consistent rule or exponential growth, which suggests there may be a misplaced or incorrect number. However, the differences seem to approximately double each time, except at 110.
    If we apply the approximate doubling pattern:
    · After 60, the next number should ideally be around 60+48=108, not 110.
    · The correct number here should likely be closer to 108 rather than 110.
    Conclusion:
    The wrong number in the series is (a) 110.
