36-2 = 34.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.

36 - 6 = 30.
34 - 6 = 28.
30 - 6 = 24.
28 - 6 = 22(answer).
34 - 6 = 28.
30 - 6 = 24.
28 - 6 = 22(answer).

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.

Alternatively subtract the values by 2 and 4.

36, 34, 30, 28, 24.
36-30 = 6.
34-28 = 6.
30-24 = 6.
Therefore 28-6 = 22.
That is 22 (B).
36-30 = 6.
34-28 = 6.
30-24 = 6.
Therefore 28-6 = 22.
That is 22 (B).

Odd terms are multiple into 6 and even terms are subtracted to 6.
6*6 = 36 34-6 = 28.
5*6 = 30 28-6 = 22.
4*6 = 24.
The number should be 22.
6*6 = 36 34-6 = 28.
5*6 = 30 28-6 = 22.
4*6 = 24.
The number should be 22.

36-34 = 2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
Just follow the series of 2,4,2,4,last is 2 ....it will get by subtracting 24-22=2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
