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)

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.

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

20-3 = 17.
17-3 = 14.
14-3 = 11.
11-3 = 8.
So 11, 8 is the right answer.
17-3 = 14.
14-3 = 11.
11-3 = 8.
So 11, 8 is the right answer.
