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