182

- Let's analyze the series: 12, 12, 16, 34, 84, 182.

- We've got two 12s at the start.

- The series seems to be based on a pattern.

- If we look closer, it follows something like this:

- 12, 34, and then possibly 84 and so on.

- We sum up using some hidden pattern:

- It's not doubling or following an immediate predictable arithmetic path.

- Now, Option:2, 84 seems off.

- After 16, 34 follows which is more than double.

- Then, 84 is pretty large and doesn't follow this hidden combination.

?? Option:2, 84 is the correct incorrect number.
