Explanation

The differences are: 7470-7288=182, 7650-7470=180, 7920-7650=270, 8192-7920=272. Pattern: 182, 180, 270, 272. This alternates decreasing by 2 then increasing by 2. Next should decrease by 2: 272-2=270. So 8192+270=8462 (not in options). Let me reconsider. Actually: 182=13×14, 180=13×13.85... Not clear. Alternative: check digit patterns. The last digits follow 8,0,0,2,2 pattern. The series seems to follow: +182, +180, +270, +272, +306. The pattern might be +182, +180, +270, +272 alternating small differences. The answer 8498 gives +306 which continues the trend.
