Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The first bracketed number (from the left) is correct and the second is incorrect.

Understanding

Given series: 4, 6, 10, (12), 16, (14), 22

The logic used here is:

4 + 2 = 6

6 + 4 = 10

10 + 2 = 12

12 + 4 = 16

16 + 2 = 18

18 + 4 = 22

The first bracketed number (from the left) is correct and the second is incorrect.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
