6*6 = 36,
3*6 = 18,
1*8 = 8.
3*6 = 18,
1*8 = 8.

The answer should be 6.
Process: 6*11=66, 6*6=36, 6*3=18.
So, when we observe the differences of 11, 6, and 3, they are in the form of 5, 3. So, the next preceding prime number is 2 and hence we should subtract 2 from 3, we get 1. Therefore, the answer will become 6*1=6, and that the correct option is B.

The logic is; Each term is the product of its percending digits in the series.

The corect answer is 8.
solution:
Each amount is the product of the preceding digits in the series.
Such as:
1st amount is 66, if we bifurcate 66, it will be split into 6 and 6, so the probuct of 6*6 is 36.
similarly, we have to slpit 36 into its constituent digits i.e. 3 and 6. Now multiply 3 with 6, the answer is 18.
And now, 1*8 =8.
