Question

• A. 96
• B. 244
• C. 12

Hint:

Check multiplication or difference pattern in number series carefully.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: A sequence pattern is observed to identify incorrect terms.

Step 1: Check pattern.
Each term is multiplied by 2: \[ 6 \rightarrow 12 \rightarrow 24 \rightarrow 48 \rightarrow 96 \rightarrow 192 \]

Step 2: Compare given sequence.
The last term should be 192, not 244. \[ \boxed{\text{244 is incorrect}} \]

Step 3: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\textbf{Option (B)}} \]
