Explanation

The series is 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250. The term 196 is incorrect as it should be 200 (increments of 25).

AI explanation

The series follows the pattern of adding 25, then 24, then 23, and so on to each subsequent number: 125 + 25 = 150, 150 + 25 = 175, 175 + 21 = 196, 196 + 29 = 225, and 225 + 25 = 250. The correct term instead of 196 should be 175 + 23 = 198.
