21+4=25.
25-7=18.
18+11(7+11)=29.
29+4=33.
33-15=18.
18+19(15+4)=37.
37+4=41.
25-7=18.
18+11(7+11)=29.
29+4=33.
33-15=18.
18+19(15+4)=37.
37+4=41.

(21+4), 18 = 25,18
(25+4), 18 = 29,18
(29+4), 18 = 33,18
(33+4),18 = 37,18
So the answer is 37, 18.
(25+4), 18 = 29,18
(29+4), 18 = 33,18
(33+4),18 = 37,18
So the answer is 37, 18.

21, 25,18,29,33,18.
25 - 21 = 4.
keep 18 as that is;
33 - 29 = 4.
again keep 18 as that is;
now , let the next number is X.
then X - 33 = 4.
so , X = 37.
And next term will be X + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41.
18 is repeating after 2 step . so next term will be 18.
Series = 21 , 25 , 18 ,29 ,33, 18 , 37 ,41 , 18.
25 - 21 = 4.
keep 18 as that is;
33 - 29 = 4.
again keep 18 as that is;
now , let the next number is X.
then X - 33 = 4.
so , X = 37.
And next term will be X + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41.
18 is repeating after 2 step . so next term will be 18.
Series = 21 , 25 , 18 ,29 ,33, 18 , 37 ,41 , 18.

Why 18 is not arrived at the next number? Anyone please clarify the answer in detail?

Yes, D is the correct answer because after 2 numbers, there is 18.
But what you all did was after one number, you added 18.

21 25 18/29 33 18/?.
21 + 8 = 29.
29 + 8 = 37.
21 + 4 = 25.
29 + 3 = 33.
37 + 4 = 41.
21 + 8 = 29.
29 + 8 = 37.
21 + 4 = 25.
29 + 3 = 33.
37 + 4 = 41.

It is shown that 18 is at 3rd position in series 37, 18 (wrong because there 18 is not in the 3rd position) hence 37+4 = 41.
Hope understand!
