    Explanation

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term = 2
    Second term = First term × 1 + 7
    ? Second term = 2 × 1 + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9 ;
    Third term = Second term × 2 - 11
    ? Third term = 9 × 2 - 11 = 18 - 11 = 5; 5 is wrong. It should be 7 as Third term .
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 15
    ? Fourth term = 7 × 3 + 15 = 21 + 15 = 36 ;
    Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 - 19
    ? Fifth term = 36 × 4 - 19 = 144 -19 = 125 ;
    Sixth term = Fifth term × 5 + 23
    ? Sixth term = 125 × 5 + 23 = 625 + 23 = 648 ;
    Seventh term = Sixth term × 6 - 27
    ? Seventh term = 648 × 6 - 27 = 3888 - 27 = 3861 .
    New series is
    First term = 5 × 1 + 7 = 12;
    Second term = 12 × 2 - 11 = 13.
    Hence Second term of new series is 13 and correct option is ( E ) .
