since number 4 is repeated at every third place it is interpolated means removed so now,
2 3 [4] 5 6 [4] 8
2+1= 3
3+2= 5
5+1= 6
6+2= 8
8+1= 9
So answer is 9 and as 4 is repeated for third place so 4 should be placed 9+2= 11 and so on.
2 3 [4] 5 6 [4] 8
2+1= 3
3+2= 5
5+1= 6
6+2= 8
8+1= 9
So answer is 9 and as 4 is repeated for third place so 4 should be placed 9+2= 11 and so on.

2 3 (4) 5 6 (4) 8 9 (4) 11, 12 (4)
the series goes this way...
2, 3 Omit the next number and put 4,
5, 6, Omit the next number and put 4,
8, 9, Omit the next number and put 4,
so on...
the series goes this way...
2, 3 Omit the next number and put 4,
5, 6, Omit the next number and put 4,
8, 9, Omit the next number and put 4,
so on...

Interpolation means adding a number in random without any logic
Thus:
2 next 3
Interpolation == 4
5 next 6
Interpolation == 4
8 next __? ==> 9
Interpolation == 4
This follows
Thus:
2 next 3
Interpolation == 4
5 next 6
Interpolation == 4
8 next __? ==> 9
Interpolation == 4

Hello friends
here series is,2,3,4,5,6,4,8
1.every third position occupy 4
2.remaing seriens are get by add 1 and 2 respectively.
so result is,8+1=9 and 3rd position =4
