Correct Answer - Option 3 : 38

Given :

There is a simple mathematical operation 14, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32 related to prime numbers 

Calculations :

As the given series is related to prime numbers, we need to see the relation of it with the prime numbers 

When we look at the series we can see all numbers come after a prime number 

Series relation with prime be like (13)14, (17)18, (19)20, (23)24, (29)30, (31)32 

Here we can see these numbers are coming after a prime number which is in order,

So the next number will be the number after the next prime number,

The next prime number after 31 will be 37 

So the next number for the given series will be 38 

∴ The next number will be 38
