We can do it other way also as follows:
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.

The series is 36,34,30,28,24...
Lets take difference of successive 36-34=2,34-30=4,30-28=2,28-24=4..
By observing the above differences that is clear that 4,2 are the successive differences that we are getting.
So the next difference is 2,4,2,4,2,4, next number 24-2=22.

6*6 = 36-2 = 34.
6*5 = 30-2 = 28.
6*4 = 24-2 = 22.
In this way.
6*5 = 30-2 = 28.
6*4 = 24-2 = 22.
In this way.

36-34 = 2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
So the answer is 22 it is alternate subtraction of 2 and 4.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
So the answer is 22 it is alternate subtraction of 2 and 4.

36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
So now,
24 - 2 = 22 answer.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
So now,
24 - 2 = 22 answer.
