Directions to Solve
Find out the wrong number in the series.
5.
190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Go on subtracting 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 from the numbers to get the next number.
190 - 24 = 166 166 - 21 = 145 145 - 18 = 127 [Here, 128 is placed instead of 127] 127 - 15 = 112 112 - 12 = 100 ... and so on.
Therefore, 128 is wrong.

When dividing numbers by 3 you will get remainder 1 but in 128 you will get remainder 2.
Hope it will help.

100 could also be the answer as it's only prefect squared number in the series.

190 - 24(3 x 8) = 166,
166 - 21(3 x 7) = 145,
145 - 18(3 x 6) = 127 -----> Correct and 128 is wrong,
127 - 15(3 x 5) = 112,
112 - 12(3 x 4) = 100 -----> Multiples of 3 is subtracted from each number.
166 - 21(3 x 7) = 145,
145 - 18(3 x 6) = 127 -----> Correct and 128 is wrong,
127 - 15(3 x 5) = 112,
112 - 12(3 x 4) = 100 -----> Multiples of 3 is subtracted from each number.

91-1 = 90.
100-1 = 99.
112-1 = 111.
128-1 = 127.
145-1 = 144.
166-1 = 165.
90, 99, 111, 144, 165 all are divisible by 3.
Except 127, So 128 is odd.
100-1 = 99.
112-1 = 111.
128-1 = 127.
145-1 = 144.
166-1 = 165.
90, 99, 111, 144, 165 all are divisible by 3.
Except 127, So 128 is odd.

Out of all the numbers only 100 is a perfect square.
So, in the series 100 is only the odd one out.
So, in the series 100 is only the odd one out.

91+9=100
100+12=112
112+15=127 = 128 is wrong
127+18=145
145+21=166
166+24=190
100+12=112
112+15=127 = 128 is wrong
127+18=145
145+21=166
166+24=190

190-166= 24 =8x3
166-145= 21 =7x3
145-127= 18 =6x3 <=128 is wrong
127-112= 15 =5x3
112-100= 12 =4x3
100-91 = 9 =3x3
166-145= 21 =7x3
145-127= 18 =6x3 <=128 is wrong
127-112= 15 =5x3
112-100= 12 =4x3
100-91 = 9 =3x3
