In each case, multiply the number on its left by its successor (i.e. the number on the left plus one) to get the number on the right.

1 × ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 1\times (1+1) = 2

2 × ( 2 + 1 ) = 6 2\times (2+1) = 6

3 × ( 3 + 1 ) = 12 3\times (3+1) =12

4 × ( 4 + 1 ) = 20 4\times (4+1) = 20

For 5, you should get 5 × ( 5 + 1 ) = 30 5\times (5+1) = 30 and for 6, we have 6 × ( 6 + 1 ) = 42 6\times (6+1) = 42 . The required answer is 30 × 42 = 1260 30 \times 42 = \boxed{1260} .
