Let the missing number be y
10 - 2 = 8
20 - 10 = 10
32 - 20 = 12
46 - 32 = 14
As we can see that difference is getting incresed by 2 and hence
y - 46 = 16
y = 62

Answer:
OPTION A
Step-by-step explanation:
Grouping of terms
Let us group the given series in groups of 2 .
( 2,10 )
( 10,20 )
( 20,32 )
( 32,46 )
In every group the second term is greater than the first term .
Logic
The difference between the second term and the first term is increasing in an arithmetic progression .
10 - 2 = 8
20 - 10 = 10
32 - 20 = 12
46 - 32 = 14
Hence 8 , 10 , ... 14 is in A.P .
So the next term of the A.P will be 14 + 2 = 16 .
Add this with the last term :
The next term will be 46 + 16 = 62 .
