Here the logic is; 8 is an alternate common number.
So, 22 + 6 = 28
and again 28 + 6 =34.
So, The series is 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, 34.
So, 22 + 6 = 28
and again 28 + 6 =34.
So, The series is 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, 34.

8 & 6 (to add) is common here.
Then,
8+14 = 22.
8+20(6+14) = 28.
8+26(6+20) = 34 --------------- Answer.
8+32(6+26) = 40.
Then,
8+14 = 22.
8+20(6+14) = 28.
8+26(6+20) = 34 --------------- Answer.
8+32(6+26) = 40.

8 is common so the series is 22,28 ?
28-22=6 it means 6 is added in 22
To get another number we will add 6 in 28
Means 28+6=34
28-22=6 it means 6 is added in 22
To get another number we will add 6 in 28
Means 28+6=34

8 is conman here.
8+22=30.
28+8=36 difference in the answer no is 6.
Since 8+34=42 difference is same and answer is 34.
8+22=30.
28+8=36 difference in the answer no is 6.
Since 8+34=42 difference is same and answer is 34.

My way of approach was,
8*2 = 16 + 6 = 22
8*3 = 24 + 4 = 28
8*4 = 32 + 2 = 34
Hope this is good.
8*2 = 16 + 6 = 22
8*3 = 24 + 4 = 28
8*4 = 32 + 2 = 34
Hope this is good.

Rule : Add 6 to the alternate numbers except the 8 because it is a constant random number.

8 is common number But 8 is leave it;
22 + 6 = 28.
28 + 6 = 34.
Hence the answer is '34'.
22 + 6 = 28.
28 + 6 = 34.
Hence the answer is '34'.

It is easy to reach. Because 8 is common number.
22+6 = 28.
28+6 = 34.
Answer is 34.
22+6 = 28.
28+6 = 34.
Answer is 34.

Here 6 is add because six is difference between 22, 28.
Like 22+6 = 28.
28+6 = 34.
Like 22+6 = 28.
28+6 = 34.
