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 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.
