108 , 54 , 36 ,18 , 9 , 6 , 4

Correct Answer: 9

Explanation:

The given series is in the below pattern,we can see that
Next term = Previous term ÷ n { putting n = 2 and 1.5 alternately }
First term = 108
Second term = First term ÷ 2
Second term = 108 ÷ 2 = 54 ;
Third term = Second term ÷ 1.5
Third term = 54 ÷ 1.5 = 36 ;
Third term = Third term ÷ 2
Fourth term = 36 ÷ 2 = 18 ;
Fifth term = Fourth term ÷ 1.5
Fifth term = 18 ÷ 1.5 = 9 is wrong. It should be 12.
Sixth term = Fifth term ÷ 2
Sixth term = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 ;
Seventh term = Sixth term ÷ 1.5
Seventh term = 8 ÷ 1.5 = 4
Hence, 9 is wrong. It should be 12.
