127. In this question, one term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term
93, 309, 434, 498, 521, 533

Answer: 521

Explanation:

93 + 6^3 = 309
309 + 5^3 = 434

128. In this question, one term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term
1, 5, 5, 9, 7, 11, 11, 15, 12, 17

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Separate the series as below.
1,5,7,11,12
5,9,11,15,17
Both series have the rule of adding +4 then +2 alternatively,
Like 5, 5+4=9, 9+2=11, 11+4=15, 15+2=17
But in the first series, 1, 1+4=5, 5+2=7, 7+4=11, 11+2=13 not 12
