Question:

Find the wrong number in the series.

7, 28, 63, 124, 215, 342, 511

Options:

7

124

28

342

Correct Answer:

28

Explanation:

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.

2- 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).
