In the following number series, one wrong number is given. Find that number: 2, 9, 30, 93, 283, 849
- 9
- 30
- 93
- 283
Correct answer: 283
Solution
The series follows a pattern where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3 and adding increasing values: 2→9 (+3), 9→30 (+3), 30→93 (+3), then 93 should lead to 282, not 283. So 283 is the wrong number.
