43 can also be the odd one out because it is the only prime number among all the given numbers.

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).

43 can also be odd one out.

43 can also answer because 43 is only prime number in this series.

43 is non divisible number in them so how can 34 be the answer?

Avinash kumar choubey said:   8 years ago
52-51=1
51-48=3
48-43=5
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.
