70 is const. As it keeps on just repeating. It's the logic behind. Afterall it's logical reasoning test.

@Anirudh.
The answer to series is 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 24, 22, 48, 32...
It goes as follows 3*2=6, 6*2=12, 12*2=24. And 4+4=8, 8+6=14, 14+8=22, 22+10=32.

There are two diffrent series. Its 3, 6, 12,..24...48(3*2, 6*2, 12*2,... Logic).
4, 8, 14...(4,4+4, 4+4+6, 4+4+6+8, 4+4+6+8+10...Logic).
4, 8, 14, 22, 32 ..

Hai @Anirudh.
Here 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, ?
It is a series of: prime no.(2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19.....) + 1.
So next prime no: 17.
Then: 17+1=18.

There is no logic behind why 70 has taken as constant you have to assume it by your reasoning skill.

I think the answer should be 96 then the next number will be 70 as it is constant after 2 digits.

70 71 76 ____ 81 86 70 91.
The answer is:
71 + 5 = 76.
81 + 5 = 86.
91 + 5 = 96.
Different number is 5. 5 is add the next number but the 70 is common number. So the correct answer is 70 friends.
