The answer is $\\boxed{\\text{C}}$.<\/p>\n

The number series is $46080, 3840, 384, 48, 24, 2, 1$. Each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 10 and then subtracting 8. Therefore, the next term in the series should be $2 \\div 10 – 8 = -6$. Since $24$ is not equal to $-6$, it is the wrong term in the series.<\/p>\n

Here is a step-by-step solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Divide the first term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $46080 \\div 10 – 8 = 3840$.<\/li>\n
  2. Divide the second term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $3840 \\div 10 – 8 = 384$.<\/li>\n
  3. Divide the third term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $384 \\div 10 – 8 = 48$.<\/li>\n
  4. Divide the fourth term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $48 \\div 10 – 8 = 24$.<\/li>\n
  5. Divide the fifth term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $24 \\div 10 – 8 = -6$.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Therefore, the next term in the series should be $2 \\div 10 – 8 = -6$. Since $24$ is not equal to $-6$, it is the wrong term in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
