The pattern of the given series is:
→ 8.1,
→ 9.2,
→ 17.3 = 9.2 + 8.1,
→ 26.5 = 17.3 + 9.2,
→ 43.8 = 26.5 + 17.3,
Here the following number is the sum of previous two numbers
∴ Next term should be:
→ 70.3 = 43.8 + 26.5,
Wrong term is 71.5
→ 114.1 = 70.3 + 43.8
→ 8.1,
→ 9.2,
→ 17.3 = 9.2 + 8.1,
→ 26.5 = 17.3 + 9.2,
→ 43.8 = 26.5 + 17.3,
Here the following number is the sum of previous two numbers
∴ Next term should be:
→ 70.3 = 43.8 + 26.5,
Wrong term is 71.5
→ 114.1 = 70.3 + 43.8
