Look for the pattern. This one is fairly simple. The next two numbers in the series would be 21, 12.
Reasoning: The series involves sets of three. The first number in each set is a multiple of 4, increasing by 4 each time. The second and third are simple consecutive counting, starting with 16.

It would be 0, 16, 17, 4, 18, 19, 8, 20, 21, 12, 22, 23, 16, 24, 25, 20, 26, 27, 24, 28, 29, 28, 30, 31, 32, 32, 33, 36, 34, 35, 40, 36, 37, 44, 38, 39, 48, 40, 41, 52 . . . you get the idea by now I guess. ç¯ç°é¦å½º

Well the question you'd given is so easy... If you can't see a sequence try to make one by your self to solve it... :)
for an example the quesiton states 0, 16,17,4,18,19,8,20
for this example take the first 3 numbers of the sequence
( 0 ,16,17)
Break it down to 3 sets & write it like this
0 16 17
4 18 19
8 20 ?
? ? ?
Notice that first COLUMN relates by an addition of 4
Second one by addition of 2
Thrid one addition of 2
if you think this as a seperate set of numbers like given above the answer is simple. :) :)
youll see that if we denote the first 3 numbers like this f(a,b,c)
next set of numbers will be f(a+4,b+2,c+2)
So now the full answer can be written like this
f(a,b,c)
f(a+4,b+2,c+2)
f(a+8,b+4,c+4)
.....
...
..
0, 16, 17,
4, 18, 19,
8, 20, 21,
12, 22, 23,....

Since you already know it's a mixed sequence, therefore you can separate it into individual sequences to get a clearer view before putting them back together again. In your eg given, the 2 sequences are:
0,4,8,.....
16,17,18,19,20,....
It is quite self evident from here on.

0, 16, 17, 4, 18, 19, 8, 20
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next number would have to be 21 .....
0
16
17
4 ---> (0 + 4 = 4)
18 ---> (number after 17)
19 ---> (number after 18)
8 ---> (4 + 4 = 8)
20 ---> (number after 19)
21 ---> (number after 20)
12 ---> (8 + 4 = 12)
etc....
