Question

Find the wrong term of the series :

$3,9,27,82,243$

• A. $27$
• B. $54$
• C. $82$
• D. $162$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $82$

Given series is: 3, 9, 27, 82, 243
Here, each of the next term is thrice of its previous term.
Clearly, 27 X 3 = 81.
Therefore, 82 is the wrong term.
Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
