This may be also taken as pair of two no having difference as 3 and second starts second series?

I think 55 is a more appropriate answer as if 3 is 'subtracted' every time then how 5 8 is correct?

How it will be 8 5?
We have take it as a pair like (14,14) ( 11,11) (8,8)and next it was (5,5) and it was decreased by a number 3.
