48 would be the next number in the sequence because the three numbers that make up 132 are 42, 44, 46,...... 48

Let, the numbers = x , x+2, x + 4
It is given that, x+ x+2 + x+4 = 132
3x + 6 = 132
3x = 132 - 6
x = 126/3
x = 42
3rd number = 42+4 = 46

In short, Your Answer would be 46

Hope this helps!
