This is simple, take 16, 26, 56 as series 1.
36, 46, 68 series 2,
56, 68, 80 series 3 now check all one positions in every series is added with 20, all second positions in every series is added with 20 and finally, all third positions in every series is added with 12. Hence we got the series 16, 26, 56, 36, 46, 68, 56, 68, 80.
36, 46, 68 series 2,
56, 68, 80 series 3 now check all one positions in every series is added with 20, all second positions in every series is added with 20 and finally, all third positions in every series is added with 12. Hence we got the series 16, 26, 56, 36, 46, 68, 56, 68, 80.

I think;
1) 16-26=10 AND 26-56=30
2) 36-46=10 AND 46-68=22
3) 56-66=10 AND 66-82=16
In the second part, the difference is 8.
So, the answer is (e) 55 66 82.
1) 16-26=10 AND 26-56=30
2) 36-46=10 AND 46-68=22
3) 56-66=10 AND 66-82=16
In the second part, the difference is 8.
So, the answer is (e) 55 66 82.

Given Series 16 26 56 36 46 68 56.
There are two series merged.
1) 16 26 36 46 56...
2) 56 68...
16+10=26.
26+10=36.
36+10=46.
46+10=56.
56+10=66....
In second series, which is appearing at every third position in the given pattern(- - 56 - - 68 - - ?).
It's simple addition.
56+12= 68.
68+12= 80.
So the Ans is 66 80.

Question..16-26-(56)-36-46-(68)-56-
1)16+10=26
2)26+10=36
3)Leave 56..(56+12=68)
4)36+10=46
5)46+10=56
6)Leave 68 ..(68+12=80),
7)56+10=66
So the answer is 66,80.
1)16+10=26
2)26+10=36
3)Leave 56..(56+12=68)
4)36+10=46
5)46+10=56
6)Leave 68 ..(68+12=80),
7)56+10=66
So the answer is 66,80.

Again as question 13, you consider two separate series ..
1st series..(starting wid 16)
16 ,26,36 ,46, 56, 66 ....They are increasing by 10
and the 2nd series (starting with 56) i.e
56 ,68, 80.. They are increasing by 12 !
that way you get 16 ,26 ,56 ,36, 46 ,68 ,56, 66,80....
