In this number series, note
16 26 56, 36 46 68, 56...
Let's break it from every 3rd number as :
Series 1:- 16 26 36 46 56 and so on
Series 2:- 56 68...
Now, if we note that
Series 1:- 16+10= 26,
26+10= 36,
36+10= 46,
46+10= 56 and so on.
So next one will be:- 56+10= 66.
Now series 2:- 56+12= 68,
So next one will be:- 68+12= 80.
Hence our series is like this:-
16, 26, 56, 36, 46, 68, 56, 68, 80.
16 26 56, 36 46 68, 56...

26+10= 36,
36+10= 46,
46+10= 56 and so on.
So next one will be:- 56+10= 66.
Now series 2:- 56+12= 68,
So next one will be:- 68+12= 80.
Hence our series is like this:-
16, 26, 56, 36, 46, 68, 56, 68, 80.

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.

In the given series,
First second---- fourth fifth---- seventh eighth....... are one series which is +10 for next reach like 26, 36, 46, 56, (66),76 ...
Similarly, third---- sixth---- ninth... are the second series which is +12 for next reach like 56, 68, (80), 92...
So the answer is 66, 80.
