    Explanation

    The pattern of given series is: → 160, → 80 = 160 × ½, → 120 = 80 × 3/2, → 180 ≠ 120 × 5/2 = 300, → 1050 = 300 × 7/2, → 4725 = 1050 × 9/2, → 25987.5 = 4725 × 11/2, ∴ 180 is the wrong number in the series and the correct number will be 300 Based on the above pattern we can create the following series → 180, → 90 = 180 × ½, → 135 = 90 × 3/2, Hence, third number in the new series is 135
