Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Given:
2, 2, 4, 6, ?, 10, 8, 14, 10

Here,
Every alternate term starting from the first is a multiple of 2.

2 × 2 = 4; 2 × 3 = 6 ; 2 × 4 = 8; 2 × 5 = 10

Every alternate term starting from the second is obtained through multiplication with odd numbers.

2 × 3 = 6; 2 × 4 = 8; 2 × 5 = 10

So, the series becomes → 2, 2, 4, 6, 6 , 10, 8, 14, 10

Hence, the first option is correct.
