If it will subtract with each other 1, 3, 5, 9, 7, 11. It's not a case of prime number else its a case of increasing (from the left side, then answer will be 27) /decreasing order (from the right side then answer will be 34).

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.

43-34=9
34-27=7
27-16=11.
34 will be the right answer because as series 1+2=3, 3+2=5, 5+2=7, 7+2=9 and 9+2=11.
51-48=3
48-43=5

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?

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.

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.
