Add all number and subtract 2 from it then you will get middle term.

0+2+4+6=12-2=10,
6+8+10+2=26-2=24,
4+10+12+14=40-2=38.
6+8+10+2=26-2=24,
4+10+12+14=40-2=38.

(0+2+4+6) -2=10, (2+8+6+10) -2=24, so (4+12+14+10) -2 = 38.

BASICALLY, WE ANALYSE THE QUESTION.
SEE,
0 + 2 + 6 + 4) - 2 = 10.
and (6 + 2 + 10 + 8) - 2 = 24.
Therefore, (4 + 14 + 12 + 10) - 2 = 38.
IN THIS QUESTION, WE CAN ARRIVE AT 10 AND 24 ONLY AFTER WE DEDUCT 2.
SO PATTERN FOLLOWS AND WE DO EXACTLY SAME THING AGAIN,
IT CAN BE ANY NUMBER NOT ONLY 2.
