Given,
20 20, 17 17, 14 14,
Now 11 remains need one more for pair.
So next is 11 correct- 11, 11.
Now next pair start with 8 (11-3).
Consider as a single digit.
So final answer would be 11, 8.

20 20 17 17 14 14 11 alternative select number end sub. first we select 20 17 14
20-3=17
17-3=14
14-3=11
Next we select 20 17 14 11
20-3=17
17-3=14
14-3=11
11-3=8
The ans is 11 8
20-3=17
17-3=14
14-3=11
Next we select 20 17 14 11
20-3=17
17-3=14
14-3=11
11-3=8
The ans is 11 8

8 8 is the correct one because we subtract 3 from each term.
20-3 = 17
20-3 = 17
17-3 = 14
17-3 = 14
14-3 = 11
14-3 = 11
11-3 = 8
11-3 = 8.
so the correct answer is A.
20-3 = 17
20-3 = 17
17-3 = 14
17-3 = 14
14-3 = 11
14-3 = 11
11-3 = 8
11-3 = 8.
so the correct answer is A.

20-3 = 17.
20-3 = 17 After we get 17 17.
17-3 = 14.
17-3 = 14 We get 14 14.
14-3 = 11.
14-3 = 11 We get 11 11 its correct ans.
11-3 = 8.
11-3 = 8.
20-3 = 17 After we get 17 17.
17-3 = 14.
17-3 = 14 We get 14 14.
14-3 = 11.
14-3 = 11 We get 11 11 its correct ans.
11-3 = 8.
11-3 = 8.

Actully 11 should repeat but, in the series 11 is given itself. So next number is 11 and next one 8 (11-3).

20+20 = 40
17+17 = 34
14+14 = 28
11+11 = 22
Every where 6 is difference how come 11+8? please answer me.
17+17 = 34
14+14 = 28
11+11 = 22
Every where 6 is difference how come 11+8? please answer me.

20-3=17 and it repeats.
So on till 11. Similarly, 11-3=8 n 8 should repeat. So and should be 8 8.
So on till 11. Similarly, 11-3=8 n 8 should repeat. So and should be 8 8.

11 8 is Right
20-3=17(20/20)
17-3=14(17/17)
14-3=11(11/11)
11-3=8(8/8)
The Ans Is 11 8
8-3=5(8/8)
20-3=17(20/20)
17-3=14(17/17)
14-3=11(11/11)
11-3=8(8/8)
The Ans Is 11 8
8-3=5(8/8)
