14 * 2 = 28,
(14 + 6) * 2 = 40,
(20 + 12) * 2 = 64,
(32 + 24) * 2 = 122.
(14 + 6) * 2 = 40,
(20 + 12) * 2 = 64,
(32 + 24) * 2 = 122.

I think the answer must be 128.
14*2=28.
20*2=40.
32*2=64.
64*2=128.
14*2=28.
20*2=40.
32*2=64.
64*2=128.

14*2=28
20*2=40
32*2=64
64*2=128 I think 128 also the correct answer.
20*2=40
32*2=64
64*2=128 I think 128 also the correct answer.

Alternately 14, 20, 32, 56.
14 + 6 = 20.
20 + 12 = 32.
32 + 24 = 56.
14 + 6 = 20.
20 + 12 = 32.
32 + 24 = 56.

14*2 = 28.
28-8 = 20.
20*2 = 40.
40-8 = 32.
32*2 = 64.
64-8 = 56.
28-8 = 20.
20*2 = 40.
40-8 = 32.
32*2 = 64.
64-8 = 56.

50 is also a Right answer. This Series follows multiple patterns!

My Answer = 56.
14 + 6 = 20,
20 + (6*2) = 32.
32 + (12*2) = 56.
14 + 6 = 20,
20 + (6*2) = 32.
32 + (12*2) = 56.
