With answer Number is 4 7 26 10 13 20 16 19 14
4,7,10,13,16,19...numbers are increasing by 3
Similarly 3rd,6th,9th are
26,20,14...are decreasing by 6 ...
So see it in 2 different sets..i hope you all get it..thanks

Remember, there is only one follow-up step between 26 and 20. So, how can I imagine next step will be 14?
There should be given one more step so that student can understand.

There are three alternate series.
4, 10, 16 increases by 6.
7, 13, 19 increases by 6.
26, 20, 14 decreases by 6.
4, 10, 16 increases by 6.
7, 13, 19 increases by 6.
26, 20, 14 decreases by 6.

First begin with 4 and add 3 to another number and in the alternate series begin with 26 and subtract with 6.

4+7+26=37
10+13+20=43
16+x+y=49
x+y=33=19+14.
10+13+20=43
16+x+y=49
x+y=33=19+14.
