Find the wrong number in the given series.
324, 109, 36, 12, 4
Correct Answer:
C. 109
Explanation:
To find the incorrect number in the series 324, 109, 36, 12, 4, you must identify the mathematical pattern connecting the terms.
By examining the sequence from right to left, a clear multiplication pattern emerges: - 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12.
- 12 multiplied by 3 equals 36.
- 36 multiplied by 3 equals 108.
- 108 multiplied by 3 equals 324.Alternatively, looking from left to right, the pattern is division by 3: - 324 divided by 3 is 108.
- 108 divided by 3 is 36.
- 36 divided by 3 is 12.
- 12 divided by 3 is 4.In the provided series, the second term is 109 instead of 108. Because 109 does not satisfy the division or multiplication rule that the rest of the numbers follow, it is the wrong number in the series.
