Which term is incorrectly placed in the following number series: 140, 340, 540, 730, 940, 1140?

🧠 Explanation:

• The given number series is: 140, 340, 540, 730, 940, 1140.
• Let’s examine the pattern of differences between the terms:
  340 − 140 = 200
  540 − 340 = 200
  730 − 540 = 190 ❌
  940 − 730 = 210
  1140 − 940 = 200
• All terms increase roughly by 200, except for the jump from 540 to 730, which is only 190 — this breaks the pattern.
• Therefore, 730 is the incorrectly placed term in the series, making option B the correct answer.
