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.
