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.
Here 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, ?

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 ..
Answer 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 24, 22, 48, 32..

@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.

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

Why is 70 taken as a constant number here?

@Anirudh- 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, ?.. ans is 18,20,24.....
concept is simple-- its prime no. + 1
so here it is
(2+1) (3+1) (5+1) (7+!) (11+1) (13+1) ..(17+1) (19+1) (23+1)..n so on...

Very simple 70 is repeting after every two series, thus I hope 70 is the right answer
70, 71, 76, __, 81, 86, 70, 91,
70, 71, 76, __, 81, 86, 70, 91,

70, 71, 76, __, 81, 86, 70, 91, ...
this is our question, split the question as
70,71,76
--,81,86
70,91,...
for every first column 70 will be constant
then for second column 71, 71+10, 81+10
therefore 70 is the answer.
