Explanation

Differences: 12-2=10, 24-12=12, 38-24=14, 54-38=16. The differences are increasing by 2. Next difference is 18. 54 + 18 = 72.

AI explanation

The differences between the consecutive terms are 10, 12, 14 and 16. Following this pattern of even numbers, the next difference is 18. Adding 18 to the last term gives 54 + 18 = 72.
