In the given series, one of the terms in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term. 30, 27, 36, 45, 72
A)
30
B)
27
C)
36
D)
72
To find the wrong term in the series 30, 27, 36, 45, 72, we look for a common mathematical pattern.
1. Observe the numbers: 27, 36, 45, and 72 are all multiples of 9.
- 27 = 9 × 3
- 36 = 9 × 4
- 45 = 9 × 5
- 72 = 9 × 8
2. Check the first term: 30 is not a multiple of 9. If the series followed the pattern of multiples of 9 starting from 3 (9 × 3, 9 × 4, 9 × 5...), the first term should have been 18 (9 × 2) or the series should have started from 27. However, looking at the sequence 27, 36, 45, 72, we see a progression of multipliers: 3, 4, 5... (then a jump to 8).
3. Alternatively, check the differences between consecutive terms:
- 27 to 36: +9
- 36 to 45: +9
- 45 to 72: +27 (which is 9 × 3)
4. If we test the first term '30' against the second term '27', the difference is -3. This does not fit the pattern of adding multiples of 9.
5. If we replace 30 with 18, the series becomes: 18, 27, 36, 45, 72.
- 18 to 27: +9
- 27 to 36: +9
- 36 to 45: +9
- 45 to 72: +27
While the jump to 72 is larger, the most glaring inconsistency is 30, as every other number in the set is divisible by 9. In aptitude tests of this nature, the 'wrong term' is typically the one that violates the primary property shared by all other terms. Since 27, 36, 45, and 72 are all divisible by 9 and 30 is not, 30 is the wrong term.

The first Mizo chief who freed all of his slaves in 1910 was -
A)
Khawvelthanga
B)
Khamliana
C)
Lalluaia
D)
Lalruma
Chief Khawvelthanga is historically recognized as the first Mizo chief to abolish slavery within his jurisdiction. In 1910, he took the progressive step of freeing all his slaves, which was a significant departure from the traditional social structure of the time. This act occurred during the British colonial administration of the Lushai Hills (now Mizoram), during a period when the British were gradually introducing policies to discourage the practice of slavery. The other options (Khamliana, Lalluaia, and Lalruma) were also prominent chiefs, but they are not credited with this specific milestone in the history of human rights in Mizoram.
