Take alternate series 4,8,12.
Now .
4*2=8
4*3=12
4*4=16.
From here you can see every previous digit is 1 less then current digit according to the whole series.
So, the answer is 15.

Alternate even numbers (4, 8, 12), alternate odd numbers (3, 7, 11, 15).

This sums odd numbers to +1 and even numbers to +3 we get the answer.
