That's really correct that 23 is not multiplied by any number, except 1*23 or 23*1.

1 + 3 = 4,
4 + 5 = 9,
9 + 7 = 16,
16 + 9 = 28.
Ans + next odd number 16 + 9 = 28.
But here the answer is 23. so 23 is the wrong number.
4 + 5 = 9,
9 + 7 = 16,
16 + 9 = 28.

There is another way, guys!
1.
1+3 = 4.
4+5 = 9.
9+7 = 16.
16+9 = 25.
By adding consecutive odd numbers to the answer that you get above it we get this order. (23 is missed out so it is the odd one).

1+3=4.
First and odd numbers add get 2nd number so 16+9=25 but answer non correct so there is in 23 that wrong answer 23.

All series have different between two sequence digits and these number are like as- (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,) odd numbers.
01.
3 04.
5 09.
7 16.
9 23 (It should be 25 number because of the difference.
11 36 between the odd numbers coming sequence).

23 is non divisible and else are divisible. So these are those questions that can be solved at first look.
