Find out the wrong term: 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16

A. 3
B. 6
C. 9
D. 12

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:

The given sequence is a combination of three series:
I: 1st, 4th, 7th terms i.e., 2, 4, 9…..
II: 2nd, 5th, 8th terms i.e.,3, 6, 12…….
III: 3rd, 6th, 9th terms i.e., 4, 8, 16………………
In each one of I, II and III, each term is twice the preceding term.
So, 9 is wrong and must be replaced by (4 × 2) i.e., 8.
