The series given below contains a sequence of numbers. Accordingly identify the incorrect combination.

25, 32, 46, 67, 97

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

97

Find the pattern by computing successive differences.

32 − 25 = 7

46 − 32 = 14

67 − 46 = 21

97 − 67 = 30

The expected pattern of differences is +7, +14, +21, +28, … (multiples of 7).

The fourth difference should be 28, giving the next term as 67 + 28 = 95, not 97.

Hence the incorrect term is 97.
