The numbers are obtained by doubling the numbers in descending order. After every two numbers, one number is excluded.
36= 18*2.
34= 17*2.
The number 16 is excluded.
30= 15*2.
28= 14*2.
13 is excluded.
24= 12*2.
Next number should be 11*2 = 22.
36= 18*2.
34= 17*2.
The number 16 is excluded.
30= 15*2.
28= 14*2.
13 is excluded.
24= 12*2.
Next number should be 11*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).

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.

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.
