Find the wrong number in the series.
7, 28, 63, 124, 215, 342, 511
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
On analyzing the following series, we get all the terms in this series is the subtraction of 1 from a cube of a number except 28 which is the addition of 1 in a cube of a number.
23 - 1 = 7
33+ 1 = 28
43 - 1 = 63
53 - 1 = 124
63 - 1 = 215
73 - 1 = 342
83 - 1 = 511
So in place of 28, we need to correct it as 26 (33 - 1).
