Explanation

The series follows the pattern: divide by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Specifically: 3601/1=3601, 3602/2=1801, 1803/3=601, 604/4=151, 154/5=30.8. The sequence logic is inconsistent; however, checking the division pattern 3601, 1800, 600, 150, 30, 6 suggests the terms are off by small increments. 154 is the most significant outlier in the progression.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern where each term is divided by an increasing integer (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and then 1 is added. Following this logic, 3601 divided by 1 plus 1 is 3602, 3602 divided by 2 plus 1 is 1803, 1803 divided by 3 plus 1 is 604, and 604 divided by 4 plus 1 should be 152. Since the given series lists 154 instead of 152, the wrong term is 154.
