As per my logic, we have to add 4 to alternate series.

For alternative numbers we have to add 4 to get the next number.

The logic is, +1, +3, +1, +3, +1, +3, and you get the answer.

This sums odd numbers to +1 and even numbers to +3 we get the answer.

Take alternate series 4,8,12.

Now .
4*2=8
4*3=12
4*4=16.

From here you can see every previous digit is 1 less then current digit according to the whole series.

So, the answer is 15.

3 + 1 = 4,
4 + 3 = 7,
7 + 1 = 8,
8 + 3 = 11,
11 + 1 = 13,
12 + 3 = 15.
