Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. 1738

Explanation

The terms are multiplied alternately by 4 and 3: 3×4 = 12, 12×3 = 36, 36×4 = 144, 144×3 = 432, 432×4 = 1728, 1728×3 = 5184. The sixth term should be 1728, so the wrong term is 1738.पदों को बारी-बारी से 4 और 3 से गुणा किया गया है: 3×4 = 12, 12×3 = 36, 36×4 = 144, 144×3 = 432, 432×4 = 1728, 1728×3 = 5184। छठा पद 1728 होना चाहिए, अतः गलत पद 1738 है।
