AI explanation

The series logic multiplies each term by increasing consecutive integers and then subtracts an increasing even number. The correct sequence should calculate as (6 x 2) - 2 = 10, (10 x 3) - 4 = 26, and (26 x 4) - 6 = 98. Since the given term in that position is 96 instead of 98, it breaks the established pattern. The result is 96.
