The logic of the series is; +11, -10, +10, -9, +9, -8.

This could also be a logic:-
5+11 = 16.
16-10 = 6,
6+10 = 16,
16-9 = 7,
7+9 = 16,
16-8 = 8.
But in the question, we have 7 in place of 8. Hence the wrong one is 7.
5+11 = 16.
16-10 = 6,
6+10 = 16,
16-9 = 7,
7+9 = 16,
16-8 = 8.
But in the question, we have 7 in place of 8. Hence the wrong one is 7.

Here there are two series.
One is odd position numbers like 5, 6, 7, 8 (but here 9).
And even position numbers 16, 16, 16 which are repeating.
So, clearly seen that the number 9 is odd here.
