6 + 2 = 8.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
12 + 2 = 14.
Another pair,
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8.
8 - 6 = 2.
8 + 2 = 10.
10 + 2 = 12.
12 + 2 = 14.
Another pair,
20 - 6 = 14.
14 - 6 = 8.
8 - 6 = 2.

Yes its really easy but in exam the pattern if we can't identify it may be bit difficult.
Just practice as I was confused in solving the type 2.
