• 0 (single digit 0)
• 99 (two 9s)
• 888 (three 8s)

Explanation

Series: 1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, ?

This is factorial pattern:  

1 = 1!  

1 = 1!  

2 = 2!  

6 = 3!  

24 = 4!  

120 = 5!  

Next = 6! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720

Explanation

Sequence: 2, 5, 8, ...  

Check the pattern: 5 - 2 = 3, 8 - 5 = 3 → common difference d = 3. So it’s an A.P.

General term for A.P: aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d  

Here a₁ = 2, d = 3  

aₙ = 2 + (n-1)3 = 2 + 3n - 3 = 3n - 1

Test: n=1 → 3(1)-1=2 ✓, n=2 → 5 ✓, n=3 → 8 ✓

Explanation

In this series, each number is formed by adding the square of a natural number (1^2, 2^2, 3^2, .....) to the preceding number.

• 15 + 1² = 16
• 16 + 2² = 20
• 20 + 3² = 29 ← should be 29, but given 30
• 29 + 4² = 45
• 45 + 5² = 70

So the correct sequence should be:

15, 16, 20, 29, 45, 70

Therefore, 30 is the incorrect number
