    Solution

    ATQ, Check for multiplication + addition pattern: From 3 to 10: 3 ├Ч 2 + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 From 10 to 26: 10 ├Ч 2 + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26 From 26 to next (should be): 26 ├Ч 2 + 8 = 52 + 8 = 60 From 60 to next: 60 ├Ч 2 + 10 = 120 + 10 = 130 From 130 to next: 130 ├Ч 2 + 12 = 260 + 12 = 272 So the pattern is: Multiply by 2 and add even numbers increasing by 2: +4, +6, +8, +10, +12 Correct series: 3, 10, 26, 60, 130, 272 Given series has 58 instead of 60.
