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

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).

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

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.

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