5*2=10.
7*2=14.
8*2=16.
9*2=18.
11*2=22.
12*2=24.
Here you observe that 11*2=22, but in quest it was given 21. So the answer is 21.
7*2=14.
8*2=16.
9*2=18.
11*2=22.
12*2=24.
Here you observe that 11*2=22, but in quest it was given 21. So the answer is 21.

Added the numbers to previous numbers
4,2,2
and
4,2,2
That format in the 21 place we get the 20 only.
That's why 21 is odd man out.
4,2,2
and
4,2,2
That format in the 21 place we get the 20 only.
That's why 21 is odd man out.

Except 21 all are even. So I do think Shraddha's logic is wrong and no need to think about because the answer of this is in simple logic. Karthik don't you think that you need not go so deep?

10+4=14
14+2=16
16+2=18
Again the number 18 is added with 4
18+4=22
22+2=24
24+2=26
So we will add 4,2,2,4,2,2
14+2=16
16+2=18
Again the number 18 is added with 4
18+4=22
22+2=24
24+2=26
So we will add 4,2,2,4,2,2
