Explanation

Pattern: 12*1+2=14, 14*2+4=32, 32*3+6=102, 102*4+8=416, 416*5+10=2090. The term 2080 is incorrect; it should be 2090.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern of multiplying by an integer and then adding or subtracting that same integer. Following the logic of multiplying by 1 and adding 2, then multiplying by 2 and adding 4, the fourth term should be 32 multiplied by 3 plus 6 which is 102, and the fifth term should be 102 multiplied by 4 plus 8 which is 416. The sixth term should be 416 multiplied by 5 plus 10, which equals 2090, so 2080 is the wrong term.
