Explanation

This is a numerical series where the gap between terms increases by 1 each time, starting from 1. The pattern is: 1, then 1+1=2, then 2+4=6, then 6+(-2)=4, then 4+6=10. The sequence alternates between adding and subtracting, with the magnitude increasing by 2 each step: +1, +4, -2, +6. Therefore, the missing number is 4.
