Question

Select the wrong term in the following number series:
458, 230, 116, 60, 30.5​​

A.

60

B.

30.5

C.

230

D.

116

Correct option is A

Given: 458, 230, 116, 60, 30.5​​
Logic: (1st number ÷\div 2) + 1 = 2nd number
458 ÷\div​ 2 = 229, 229 + 1 = 230
230 ÷\div​ 2 = 115, 115 + 1 = 116
116 ÷\div​ 2 = 58, 58 + 1 = 59 \neq 60
59 ÷\div​ 2 = 29.5, 29.5 + 1 = 30.5
So, 60 is wrong term in the series.
Thus, correct option is (a).
