    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    The given series is based on the following pattern:

    6 * 1 + 1 * 2 = 8

    8 * 2 - 2 * 3 = 10

    10 * 3 + 3 * 4 = 42

    42 * 4 - 4 * 5 = 148

    148 * 5 + 5 * 6 = 770

    770 * 6 - 6 * 7 = 4578

    Starting with the wrong number 146, we get

    The second number = 146 * 1 + 1 * 2 = 148

    The third number = 148 * 2 - 2 * 3 = 290

    The fourth number = 290 * 3 + 3 * 4 = 882.
