    134, 182, 244, 314
    A 182 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 244 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 314 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 134 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pattern followed in this series is that the difference between consecutive numbers consists of even multiples of 6 from left to right, starting from 24. 74 + (6 × 4) = 74 + 24 = 98 98 + (6 × 6) = 98 + 36 = 134 134 + (6 × 8) = 134 + 48 = 182 182 + (6 × 10) = 182 + 60 = 242 (But the series gives 244) 242 + (6 × 12) = 242 + 72 = 314 As per the pattern, the number 244 is incorrect and should be replaced by 242. Hence, option b.
