The word that is wrong is 'were'

The reason that it is wrong is that the subject of the sentence 'A packet of crisps' is singular (it refers to one packetnot the many crisps in the packet) while the verb 'were found' refers to the plural (i.e they were found). As there is only one packet of crisps 'was found' the singular should be used (i.e. it was found). The sentence should therefore read:-

"A packet of crisps was found on the bench."

Which word is wrong 'A packet of chips were found on the bench'.?

Packet is singular, so a packet was found on the bench, because the subject and verb have to agree in number (both singular, or both plural). Therefore, the word were is wrong.
