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).
