The difference are odd.
5-2=3
10-5=5
17-10=7
26-17=9
37-26=11
50-37=13
But 64-50=14 which is not an odd number.
5-2=3
10-5=5

2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, 64.
The difference between two numbers
3 5 7 9 11 13 15.
3+2=5,
5+5=10, 7
+10=17,
9+17=26,
11+26=37,
13+37=50,
15+50=65.
According to this sequence, we get 65, so 64 is not matching.

Simply 64 is only a perfect square. So, 64 is the answer.

@All.
As per my logic;
2+3=5, 5+5=10, 10+7=17, 17+9=26, 26+11=37, 37+13=50, 50+15=65.

I got another solution.
It's an alternate even-odd series..
2=even,
5=odd,
10=even,
17=odd,
26=even,
37=odd,
50=even,
64=should've been an odd no. but its not.
So, 64 is the answer.

37 can be the right answer because it is odd digit.
