From my perspective;
For every two numbers if we observe the difference between the two numbers we are getting odd numbers like;
2-5=3,
5-10=5,
10-17=7,
17-26=9,
26-37=11,
37-50=13,
50-64=14(here the series is missing) after the difference '13' the next difference should be '17'.
These are in the form of odd number series.

2+3 = 5.
5+5 = 10.
10+7 = 17.
17+9 = 26.
26+11 = 37.
37+13 = 50.
but 50+15 = 65.
Hence, 64 is odd in the series.
5+5 = 10.
10+7 = 17.
17+9 = 26.
26+11 = 37.
37+13 = 50.
but 50+15 = 65.
Hence, 64 is odd in the series.

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.

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
17-10=7
26-17=9
37-26=11
50-37=13
But 64-50=14 which is not an odd number.

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