B Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence follows the pattern (n * 2) + 2. Specifically: (2*2)+2=6, (6*2)+2=14, (30*2)+2=62. Since the next number is 62, not 64, the statement is False.

AI explanation

To determine the next logical number in the given sequence, let's analyze the pattern:

Starting with the number 2, each subsequent number in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3 and then subtracting 2.

2 * 3 - 2 = 4 4 * 3 - 2 = 10 10 * 3 - 2 = 28

Following this pattern, we can find the next number in the sequence:

28 * 3 - 2 = 82

Therefore, the next logical number in the sequence is 82, not 64.

The correct answer is option B) False.
