In figure 1, there are 3 3 triangles.
In figure 2, there are 8 8 triangles.
In figure 3, there are 15 15 triangles.
(For clarification):-
In figure 4, there are 24 24 triangles.
In figure 5, there are 35 35 triangles.


So, we see that in the n th {n}^{\text{th}} figure, there are ( 2 × i = 1 n i ) + n (2 × \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i) + n triangles.

So, in the 2016 th {2016}^{\text{th}} figure, there would be ( 2 × i = 1 2016 i ) + 2016 (2 × \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{2016} i) + 2016
= 4068288 triangles. _\square

Ashish, I took ten minutes for this Question. Really I was at first confused due to progressive AP. Then somehow I found out the correct way. Nice Question :)
