Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: 191 is the wrong number.

Key logic:

  • Step 1: 3 × 2 + 1 = 7

  • Step 2: 7 × 4 + 2 = 30

  • Step 3: 30 × 6 + 3 = 183 (so the fourth term should be 183, not 191)

  • Step 4: 183 × 8 + 4 = 1468

  • Step 5: 1468 × 10 + 5 = 14685

Therefore the wrong number in the series is 191.
