  • Question

  • In the following number series only one number is wrong. Find out the wrong number ? 6, 15, 35, 63, 143, 221, 323


  • Options
  • A. 143
  • B. 63
  • C. 323
  • D. 35

  • Correct Answer
  • 63 

    Explanation

    Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

     2 × 3 = 6

     3 × 5 = 15

     5 × 7 = 35

     7 × 11 = 77

     11 × 13 = 143

     13 × 17 = 221

     17 × 19 = 323

    So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

    So the wrong number is 63.
