Solution:

The given sequence is a combination of three series:

     

First Series: 2, 4, 6, 8 


Second Series: 1, 4, 7, ?


Third Series: 2, 5, 8, 11


Clearly, There is a difference of 3 in consecutive terms in second series. so ? = 7+3 = 10

The given sequence is a combination of three series.
I – 2, 4, 6, 8 these are 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th term II — 1,4,7, 10 these are 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th term III—32,5,8, 11 these are 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th term
Clearly, I consists of consecutive even numbers and it is the term from that series which has to come next, thus 10.
