Find out the wrong number in the given sequence of numbers: 5, 16, 6, 16, 7, 16, 9, _____?

Explanation

The correct sequence should be: 5, 16, 6, 16, 7, 16, 8.

The pattern is an increase of 1 in the non-16 numbers. The correct next number after 7 should be 8, not 9.

Therefore, the wrong number in the sequence is: 9
