36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.

3*12 = 36
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.

The given series is 36, 34, 30, 28, 24 by subtracting with 2&4 we get next number to the 24.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.

36-34 = 2,
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
24-2 = 22,
Hence 22 will be the next term.
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
