Find the wrong term in the series given below: 1, 9, 33, 105, 158

158

105

✅ Correct Option: 1

$1+8=9$

$9+24=33$

$33+72=105$

As we can see, the numbers added are $8\times1=8$ , then $8\times3=24$ , then $24\times3=72$ . The next number to be added should be $72\times3=216$

Hence, $158$ is wrong.
