    Explanation

    The pattern of given series is: → 3, → 5 = 3 × 1 + 2 → 12 = 5 × 2 + 2 → 38 = 12 × 3 + 2 → 154 = 38 × 4 + 2 → 914 ≠ 154 × 5 + 2 = 772 → 4634 = 772 × 6 + 2 ∴ 914 is the wrong number in the series and the correct number will be 772 Based on the above pattern we can create the following series → 914, → 916 = 914 × 1 + 2 → 1834 = 916 × 2 + 2 Hence, third number in the new series is 1834
