In the following number series, one number is wrong. Find the wrong number: 119, 176, 260, 371, 509, 675

1. 675
2. 119
3. 176
4. 371

Correct answer: 675

Solution

The series should increase by 57, 76, 95, 114, and 133, which are consecutive multiples of 19. The last term should therefore be 642, not 675, so 675 is the wrong number.
