33, 39, 56, 85, 127, 185, 254 Directions (66-70): Find the wrong term in the following series.

1. 39
2. 254
3. 185
4. 85

Correct answer: 85

Solution

The series is intended to follow a pattern of increasing differences, but one term disrupts the progression. On checking the successive differences, 85 does not fit the expected pattern, so it is the wrong term.
