Find out the wrong number in the following series.
15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12756
The rule for this series is: (previous term × n) + n, where 'n' starts at 1 and increases by 1 for each step.
(15 × 1) + 1 = 16(16 × 2) + 2 = 34(34 × 3) + 3 = 105(105 × 4) + 4 = 424(424 × 5) + 5 = 2125. The series has 2124 at this position, which breaks the pattern.(2125 × 6) + 6 = 12756.
The entry given in the series is 2124, but according to the established pattern, it should be 2125.
The wrong number in the series is 2124.
