AI explanation

Series I follows a pattern of adding consecutive square numbers, where 13 plus 1 is 14, 14 plus 4 is 18, and 18 plus 9 is 27. For Series II, the intended pattern is adding multiples of 9, starting with 8. Adding 72 to 379 gives 451, so 387 is the wrong number. The value of Q plus 2 is 389.
