1397 x 1397

The terms of the series are products of two consecutive prime numbers i.e.

(2 x 3), (3 x 5), (5 x 7), (7 x 11),.....

So, 165 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 x 13) i.e. 143.

Let the numbers be x, x + 1, x + 2,  x + 3, x + 4, x + 5 and x + 6,

Then   (x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) + (x + 6)) / 7 = 20.

or  7x + 21 = 140 or 7x = 119 or x =17.

Latest number = x + 6 = 23.

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.

Rs.782*623

Given ratio =12:23:34= 6:8:9

1st part = Rs.782*623 = Rs. 204
