Question

One term in the following number series is incorrect. Find the incorrect term.
8, 4, 4, 6, 12, 24, 90

A.

12

B.

24

C.

4

D.

90

Correct option is B

Given:
8, 4, 4, 6, 12, 24, 90
Logic: The series follows a pattern where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by consecutive integers starting from 0.5:
8 × 0.5 = 4
4 × 1 = 4
4 × 1.5 = 6
6 × 2 = 12
12 × 2.5 = 30 ≠ 24
30 × 3 = 90
 Thus, correct option is (a).
