184

189

- Let's examine the number series: 2, 9, 34, 99, 184, 189.

- The series seems to follow a specific pattern or rule.

- Notice the differences between consecutive numbers:

- \(9 - 2 = 7\)

- \(34 - 9 = 25\)

- \(99 - 34 = 65\)

- \(184 - 99 = 85\)

- \(189 - 184 = 5\)

- The differences are not immediately consistent, so let's check these differences for commonalities.

- The correct sequence for differences based on a typical pattern would be different.

- The term 184 appears to disrupt a plausible series pattern.

- Check if any other combinations fit a formulaic series or common pattern.

Correct Answer: Option 4, 184 is the incorrect number in the series.
