Find the wrong number in the given series. निम्नलिखित श्रृंखला में से गलत संख्या को ज्ञात कीजिए? 8, 16, 24, 40, 62, 104, 168

The pattern is: each term equals sum of previous two terms minus 2. Starting with 8 and 16: 8+16-2=22 (but we have 24), so check from 16: 16+24-2=38 (but we have 40), then 24+40-2=62 (matches!), 40+62-2=100 (but we have 104), 62+104-2=164 (but we have 168). Alternatively: check if each term from 40 follows Fibonacci (sum of previous two): 16+24=40✓, 24+40=64≠62✗, 40+62=102≠104✗. Since 62 breaks the pattern first, it's the wrong number - should be 64 to maintain consistency.
