36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.

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).

Add Subtracted to 6, 4 or 4 digit number but this simple logic.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.

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.
