43-34=9, 34-27=7.
In series 1, 3, 5, 9, 7, 11 is coming. We may assume 43 as wrong. Please clear my doubt.

43 can also be the answer as this is the only prime no in the series.

52-1*1 = 51.
52-2*2 = 48.
52-3*3 = 43.
52-4*4 = 36....it is 34 in series.
52-5*5 = 27.
52-6*6 = 36.
52-2*2 = 48.
52-3*3 = 43.
52-4*4 = 36....it is 34 in series.
52-5*5 = 27.
52-6*6 = 36.

43 is the only prime no hence it can also be the answer. !

Why don't we consider 43 as wrong because are all composite numbers except 43 then why don't we pick this 43 prime number as wrong?

I also agree with @Saket, @Vijay Kumar D, @Prakhar, and @Sonia.
Only 43 is the prime number and rest are not. So 43 can also be the correct answer.
