It can be 63 because only 63 is a multiple of 9. Rest aren't.

5+8=13
8+13=21
13+21=34
So the odd one is 32.
8+13=21
13+21=34
So the odd one is 32.

It's very simple add three number for each last no.
8-13=value is 5.
add 3 in 5,
5+3=8, so 13+=21,
8+3=11 ,so 21+11=32,
11+3=14,so 32+14=46,
14+3=17,so 46+27=63,
17+3=20,so 63+20=83,
So the wrong no is 47, real value is 46.
8-13=value is 5.
add 3 in 5,
5+3=8, so 13+=21,
8+3=11 ,so 21+11=32,
11+3=14,so 32+14=46,
14+3=17,so 46+27=63,
17+3=20,so 63+20=83,
So the wrong no is 47, real value is 46.
