53, 53-0 = 53, 53-13 = 40, 40-0 = 40, 40-13 = 27, 27-0 = 27, 27-13 = 14.

Answer: 14.

1st & 2nd number is same but 3rd number is 13 gap. So answer is 27-13 = 14.

This to simple logic (53, 53, 40, 40, 27, 27).

Total tree numbers in subtracted 53-13 = 40.

40-13 = 27.
27-13 = 14.

The correct answer is 14.
