Find out the wrong term from the given series:
125, 126, 124, 127, 123, 129

  1. A.

    126

  2. B.

    124

  3. C.

    123

  4. D.

    129

Attempted by 35 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The series follows an alternating pattern of adding and subtracting consecutive integers (+1, -2, +3, -4). Following this logic, the term after 123 should be 123 + 5 = 128, not the given value of 129. This makes 129 the incorrect term in the sequence.
