- The sequence begins with 96 and increments by equal steps.

- Calculate the difference between consecutive numbers to find the pattern.

- 144 - 96 = 48; the first step is an increment of 48.

- Assume the pattern continues with equal increments:

- The next number after 144 should be 144 + 48 = 192.

- Following that, from 192, the sequence continues: 192 + 48 = 240.

- The fourth term in the series is indeed 192.

- This pattern matches each given number, consistently incrementing by 48.

Given these calculations:

- Option:1, 210 - Not a 48 increment from previous numbers.

- Option:2, 192 - Correct choice

- Option:3, 188 - Does not fit the pattern.

- Option:4, 224 - Exceeds the expected increment.
