It's just the series of addition of squares of successive odd numbers and the squares of successive even numbers..

ie.,
(1^2)+(3^2)=1+9=10
(2^2)+(4^2)=4+16=20
(5^2)+(7^2)=25+49=74
(6^2)+(8^2)=36+64=100
(9^2)+(11^2)=81+121=202
Similarly,
(10^2)+(12^2)=100+144=244.
and the series goes on and on....!!
So, 244 is the answer.
