It's a very simple.
7, 10, 8, 11, 9, 12, ...
Divide in to two parts.
1st -> 7 8 9.
2nd -> 10 11 12.
So the next number would be 10.

Here,
7 + 3 = 10,
10 - 2 = 8,
8 + 3 = 11,
11 - 2 = 9,
9 + 3 = 12,
12 - 2 = 10 according to this B is correct answer.
7 + 3 = 10,
10 - 2 = 8,
8 + 3 = 11,
11 - 2 = 9,
9 + 3 = 12,
12 - 2 = 10 according to this B is correct answer.
