Hi,

Random number is 21 and is repeated after two number.

3 is adding to 22 the result is 25 and 21 is repeated again.

8+3 = 11
11+4 = 15
15+3 = 18
18+4 = 22
From above we can conclude as difference b/w first two no.is 3.
Third no. is interpolation, it is repeated as every third no.
so next pair is 25 21 (22+3 =25)

11-8=3
15-18=3
22-25=3
so 25 21 is answer

I'm not convinced , if the answer was only 25 it would be ok but 25 21 is confusing..
