16+10=26
56+0=56
26+10=36
36+10=46
56+12=68
46+10=56
56+10=66(required)
68+12=80(required)
16+0=16
16+10=26

Its is simple.
16,26,56,36,46,68,56
Ans: to observe 1st three numbers 16,26,56.
to observe 2nd three numbers 36,46,68.
16+20=36.
26+20=46.
56+12=68.
36+20=56.
46+20=66.
68+12=80.
so ans is 66,80.

Observe 1st three numbers,
Add 10 to starting two numbers...
16+10=26
26+10=36
36+10=46
46+10=56
56+10=66
The third number 56 is;
56+12=68,
68+12=80,
16 26 56 36 46 68 56 66 80,
Add 10 to starting two numbers...
16+10=26
26+10=36
36+10=46
46+10=56
56+10=66
The third number 56 is;
56+12=68,
68+12=80,
16 26 56 36 46 68 56 66 80,

I can't understand it. As above, some members said in 2nd series 12 is added after 56. Then why from 68 12 is decreased and next num is 56. Can anybody explain it plzz?

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.

The first time I've read the calculations, using numbers then finally I get it. It is just a simple logic. But difficult to understand if it is explained in words.

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),

Given series is 16 26 56 36 46 68 56.
Look at no's 16 36 56.
16+20 = 36+20 = 56.
56-26 = 30.
68-46 = 22.
80-66 = 14.
30-22 = 22-14 = 8.
Look at no's 16 36 56.
16+20 = 36+20 = 56.
56-26 = 30.
68-46 = 22.
80-66 = 14.
30-22 = 22-14 = 8.

16 26 [56]36 46 [68]56 66 [80]
after two no there will be adition of 12 and remaining series will continue like this.

26 - 16 = 10
68 - 56 = 12(after two nos.)
46 - 36 = 10
80 - 68 = 12
66 - 56 = 10.
Hope you understand.
