Is it correct if we see it this way?
1-odd.
8-even.
27-odd.
64-even.
124-even.
216-even.
343-odd.
So there should be an odd number between 64 and 216 to maintain the odd-even series hence 124 is wrong.
1-odd.
8-even.
27-odd.
64-even.
124-even.
216-even.
343-odd.
So there should be an odd number between 64 and 216 to maintain the odd-even series hence 124 is wrong.

1*1*1=1.
2*2*2=8.
3*3*3=27.
4*4*4=64.
5*5*5=125.
6*6*6=216.
7*7*7=343.
124 is not a perfect cube of any number.
2*2*2=8.
3*3*3=27.
4*4*4=64.
5*5*5=125.
6*6*6=216.
7*7*7=343.
124 is not a perfect cube of any number.

1 8 27 64 124 216 343.
a:1 = 1.
8 = 8.
27=2+7=9.
64=6+4=10=1+0=1.
124=1+2+4=7.
216=2+1+6=9.
343=3+4+3=10=1+0=1.
Here the series is 1 8 9 1 8 9 1 8 9 but here second 8th position is occupied by 7. So the wrong number is 124.
