lis = {{1,10}, {2,10}, {3,10}, {4,10}, {5,10}, {6,20}, {7,20},
{8,20}, {9,20}, {10,30}, {11,30}, {12,30}, {13,30}, {14,30},
{15,30}, {16,30}, {17,40}, {18,40}, {19,40}, {20,50}, {21,50}};
Extract[ lis, Position[ Rest@# - Most@# & @ lis[[All,2]], 10 ] ]
{{5,10},{9,20},{16,30},{19,40}}
Two comments:
1. "save the pair" is ambiguous. Which pair? I have returned the
list of {i,10j} pairs that precede an {i+1,10{j+1)} pair.
2. This can be done faster but less transparently using SparseArray.
