  Can you give us a hint?
  Is it strictly numeric/mathematical?
  Or does it involve some social thing?
  Something about some products?

  separate the given series into two different series.. & observe them you will definitely get an idea....

  I know it is tough!!! But it is mathematical......
  
  Hint: Every number is dependent only on its previous number, except the 1st one(Ex: 62 is derived only from 72).
  
  Also, sometimes there might be many answers for a series. thinking might be different!!! I would be happy to have any answer with a proper explanation.

  Ans is 132 according to my logic...
  7^2+2^2+7+2=62...
  6^2+2^2+6+2=48...
  4^2+8^2+4+8=92...
  9^2+2^2+9+2=96...
  9^2+6^2+9+6=132...

  OK, that explains why they're all even numbers.
  An odd numbered squared is always odd, and the sum of two odd numbers is always even.
