Answer:

"10"

Explanation:

This is rather thinking "pictorially". Picture it.

You can match it with a round clock that has numbers 1 - 12 written on it.

So,

32 and 16 would be opposite of each other [top and bottom]. And, 1 - 15 would be on right side and 17 - 31 would be on left side.

Now,

Going counter-clockwise from 32, 26 would be the 6th number. Going counter-clockwise from 16, 10 would be the 6th number.

Hence, they would be opposite of each other.

10 would be opposite of 26
