Question

Find the wrong term of the series :

$0,2,3,6,6,20,9,54,12$

• A. $3$
• B. $6$
• C. $20$
• D. $54$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $20$

The given series: 0, 2, 3, 6, 6, 20, 9, 54, 12 consists of two series.
1st series: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 2nd series: 2, 6, 20, 54
In the 1st series, each of the next number is 3 more than its previous number.
In the 2nd series, each of the next number is thrice of the previous number.
Clearly, 3 X 6 = 18 $\ne$20
Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
