Find the wrong term in the following series.

128, 32, 16, 17, 32

A. 128

B. 32

C. 16

D. 17

Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.

Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

The pattern followed here is:

128 × 0.25 = 32

32 × 0.5 = 16

16 × 1 = 16 ≠ 17

16 × 2 = 32

In place of 17, there should be 16.

Hence, the answer is option 4.
