Find the wrong number in the sequence: 582, 605, 588, 611, 634, 617, 600
A
634
B
611
C
605
D
600
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
The intended sequence alternates +23 and −17: 582 + 23 = 605, 605 − 17 = 588, 588 + 23 = 611. The next number should therefore be 611 − 17 = 594, followed by 594 + 23 = 617 and 617 − 17 = 600. Thus 634 is the incorrect term.
