Find out the wrong number in the following series:
5, 15, 30, 80, 180, 540, 1080

• 80
  there should be a 90
  so we can have a series
  5, 5*3, 15*2, 30*3, 90*2, 180*3, 540*2 and 1080*3 and so on...

• 80 is wrong it should be 90
  5 30(5*6) 180(30*6) 1080(180*6) and
  15 90(15*6) 540(90*6) ....
  so combined mix series is= 5 15 30 90 180 540 1080 ....
  so ans is 80

• Ans. is 80; 5*6=30,30*6=180,180*6=1080. The same way 15*6=90,90*6=540. Here, instead of 90, the no. 80 is placed as wrong...

  like... 5*6=30, same as 15*6= 90... etc..

• 80 is wrong no.
  bcoz 5*3=15 15*2=30
  lykwise 30*3=90 90*2=180
  180*3=540 540*2=1080
  so 80 is wrong no because we r continously multipying by 3 and 2

• 80
  5*3=15 -> 5,15
  15*2=30 -> 15,30
  30*3 = 90 -> 30,90
  90*2 =180 -> 90,180
  180*3 =540 ->180,540
  540*2=1080-> 540,1080
  5,15,30,90,180,540,1080
