The wrong number in the given number series is 106.

Explanation:
To find the wrong number in the given number series, we need to identify the pattern or rule followed by the numbers and observe if any number deviates from the pattern.

Let's analyze the given number series step by step:

1. 1050: No specific pattern can be observed from this number.

2. 510: By subtracting 540 from 1050, we get 510. So, we subtract 540 from the previous number to obtain the next number in the series.

3. 242: By subtracting 268 from 510, we get 242. Again, we subtract 268 from the previous number to obtain the next number.

4. 106: By subtracting 136 from 242, we get 106. So, we subtract 136 from the previous number to obtain the next number.

5. 46: By subtracting 60 from 106, we get 46. Again, we subtract 60 from the previous number to obtain the next number.

6. 16: By subtracting 30 from 46, we get 16. So, we subtract 30 from the previous number to obtain the next number.

Now, let's analyze option by option to identify the wrong number:

a) 3: By subtracting 14 from 16, we get 2, not 3. So, option a) is not the wrong number.

b) 106: By subtracting 30 from 136, we get 106. So, option b) is the wrong number as it does not follow the pattern observed in the series.

c) 242: By subtracting 30 from 272, we get 242. So, option c) is not the wrong number.

d) 510: By subtracting 30 from 540, we get 510. So, option d) is not the wrong number.

Therefore, the wrong number in the given number series is 106 (option b).
