If the given explanation is assumed right then the sequence comes like 23, -17, 23, 23, -17, -17. In this case I think that also 600 is odd one.

600 +17
617 +17
634 -23
611 -23
588 +17
605 +17
582
If we consider, +17 added twice then -23, it makes sence so 582 should be the answer
617 +17
634 -23
611 -23
588 +17
605 +17
582
If we consider, +17 added twice then -23, it makes sence so 582 should be the answer

Hey guys why can't we found another reasoning. Like I came out with an answer 600 as it is only one divisble by 100 leaving no remainder.

Seperates the patterns like this
582, 588, ?, 600.
605, 611, 617.
In each pattern add +6 and then;
588 + 6 = 594.
594 + 6 = 600.
582, 588, ?, 600.
605, 611, 617.
In each pattern add +6 and then;
588 + 6 = 594.
594 + 6 = 600.

582-605=23,
605-588=17
588-611=23
634-617=17
611-634=23
So balance 17 +17 =34
Add balance no is 600 +34 =634 ans.
605-588=17
588-611=23
634-617=17
611-634=23
So balance 17 +17 =34
Add balance no is 600 +34 =634 ans.

I think 600 is the correct answer because 617+23 = 640 should come if they do it alternatively.

582+23=605.
605-17=588.
588+23=611.
611-17=594 => 634 is wrong answer.
594+23=617.
617-17=600.
605-17=588.
588+23=611.
611-17=594 => 634 is wrong answer.
594+23=617.
617-17=600.

My answer is 617.
Because all number are composite number except 617 (which is prime number).

582+6 = 588.
605+6 = 611.
588+6 = 594(but the given answer is 634).
611+6 = 617.
594+6 = 600.
605+6 = 611.
588+6 = 594(but the given answer is 634).
611+6 = 617.
594+6 = 600.

In the series the numbers order increase and decrease. So the series wrong number is 634.
