Firstly the last no of is added i.e. the sum of 6 and 4 of 36 &34 the no. Will be10 then the sum of0&8out of 30&28 the no will be8then. The sum of 4 &2 out of 24&22 the no will be 6.
Due to the dressing in the given series the answer will be 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.
