According to my logic;
21 - 12 = 9,
21 - 10 = 11,
21 - 8 = 13,
21 - 6 = 15.
21 - 12 = 9,
21 - 10 = 11,
21 - 8 = 13,
21 - 6 = 15.

Here, the common no is 21 so leave it. And the series is;
9 + 2 = 11,
11 + 2 = 13,
13 + 2 = 15,
So, the answer is 15.
9 + 2 = 11,
11 + 2 = 13,
13 + 2 = 15,
So, the answer is 15.

Between the two same number consists of an odd number:
21, 9, 21, 11, 21, 13, 21, 15, 21 and so on.
21, 9, 21, 11, 21, 13, 21, 15, 21 and so on.

@All. According to me,
21 - 12 = 9.
9 + 12 = 21.
21 - 10 = 11.
11 + 10 = 21.
21 - 8 = 13.
13 + 8 = 21.
21 - 6 = 15.
15 + 6 = 21.
21 - 12 = 9.
9 + 12 = 21.
21 - 10 = 11.
11 + 10 = 21.
21 - 8 = 13.
13 + 8 = 21.
21 - 6 = 15.
15 + 6 = 21.

11-9 = 2.
13-11 = 2.
So, 15-13 = 2.
And next
different will be 2.
9,11,13 Next number will be 15.
13-11 = 2.
So, 15-13 = 2.
And next
different will be 2.
9,11,13 Next number will be 15.

2 * 4 = 8
8 + 1 = 9
2 * 5 = 10
10 + 1 = 11
2 * 6 = 12
12 + 1 = 13
2 * 7 = 14
14 + 1 = 15 and so on.
8 + 1 = 9
2 * 5 = 10
10 + 1 = 11
2 * 6 = 12
12 + 1 = 13
2 * 7 = 14
14 + 1 = 15 and so on.

The second digit is 9,
4th digit is 11.
so alternatively adding two numbers,
after 3 the next is 15.
9,11,13,15..
4th digit is 11.
