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.

It's really confusing series, but we take even series in increasing and decreasing order separately.
Even series taken in increasing order 6 8 10 12.
Even series taken in decreasing order 20 14 8.
We see that increasing series increases by 2 and decreasing series decreases by 6. So the last two digit will be 14 in increasing series and 2 will be in decreasing series.
Even series taken in increasing order 6 8 10 12.
Even series taken in decreasing order 20 14 8.
We see that increasing series increases by 2 and decreasing series decreases by 6. So the last two digit will be 14 in increasing series and 2 will be in decreasing series.
