Find the wrong term in the number series: 32, 39, 45, 52, 54
Explanation
Explanation
The series should increase alternately by 7 and 6: 32+7=39, 39+6=45, 45+7=52, 52+6=58. The correct next term should be 58, but 54 is given instead, so 54 is the wrong term.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
During a thunderstorm, the sound of thunder is heard 3 seconds after the lightning flash is seen. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how far away did the lightning strike? (Ignore the time taken by light.)
