Hey you can also get solution like if you subtract each number by sequence the difference would be either 10 or 11 but when you subtract 16 with 9 the difference is 7.

Remove all "16" from the given series. Then watch the series carefully.
5, (16) 6, (16) 7, (16) 9
5...6...7... next should be 8 not 9.
Therefore, 9 is the odd-man in the given series.
5, (16) 6, (16) 7, (16) 9
5...6...7... next should be 8 not 9.
Therefore, 9 is the odd-man in the given series.
