I agree with @Bala krishnan even I thought the same. In table of 3 the numbers follows. 3x6=18, 3x7=21, 3x8=24. So A26 is oddman 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?
