It can be solved in this way too.
41+(1*1)+1 = 43
43+(2*1)+2 = 47
47+(3*1)+3 = 53
53+(4*1)+4 = 61
61+(5*1)+5 = 71
71+(6*1)+6 = 83.
And here 81. So, therefore, it is out of the series.
41+(1*1)+1 = 43
43+(2*1)+2 = 47
47+(3*1)+3 = 53
53+(4*1)+4 = 61
61+(5*1)+5 = 71
71+(6*1)+6 = 83.
And here 81. So, therefore, it is out of the series.

@Saurabh.
A number that is divisible only by itself and 1, then we are called prime number.

41+2 = 43.
43+4 = 47.
47+6 = 53.
53+8 = 61.
61+10 = 71.
So 81 is not correct.
43+4 = 47.
47+6 = 53.
53+8 = 61.
61+10 = 71.
So 81 is not correct.

They all are prime no except 81. So simply 81is the perfect solution.

81 is right because no any number in the series divide by any number.
only 81 divide with 3,
27.
