Directions to Solve
Look carefully for the pattern, and then choose which pair of numbers comes next.
15.
16 26 56 36 46 68 56
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Here, every third number follows a different pattern from the main series. In the main series, beginning with 16, 10 is added to each number to arrive at the next. In the alternating series, beginning with 56, 12 is added to each number to arrive at the next.

First of all 3rd number is different (56, 68). But 1st and 2nd at difference of 10. And also 4th and 5th difference of 10.
So next will become at place 8th is (56+10=66) and 9th will become according to addition 3rd place of 12 such as (56+12=68) at 6th place and 9th will be (68+12=80). Last one is ( (66 80).
So next will become at place 8th is (56+10=66) and 9th will become according to addition 3rd place of 12 such as (56+12=68) at 6th place and 9th will be (68+12=80). Last one is ( (66 80).

It is similar to Q13. There is no logic. There should be another step.

It is Simple.
To get the second number you should add 10 to the first number and every third number added with 12.
16 + 10 = 26
36 + 10 = 46
56 + 10 = 66
Here, the third number is 56, 68,
From the given, 56 + 12=68,
Similarly 68 + 12 = 80,
Our answer is 66, 80.

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,
