21 is common after every 2 number. So
8 11 21 15 18 21 22...
8+3 = 11 21.
15+3 = 18 21.
22+3 = 25 21.
So answer is 25 21.
8 11 21 15 18 21 22...
8+3 = 11 21.
15+3 = 18 21.
22+3 = 25 21.
So answer is 25 21.

There is a mistake in explanation. 21 is repeating as random number while 7 is added to each pair to get the new pair.

21 is Common in this Series.
So you can See,
=> 8 + 3 = 11.
=> 15 + 3 = 18.
=> 22 + 3 = 25.
Answer comes (25 21).

Skip 21
Add 3 and 4 gradually
8+3=11 (skip 21)
11+4=15.
15+3=18 (skip 21)
18+4=22.
22+3=25 (skip 21)
Ans : 25 21.

Good question.
8 11 21 15 18 21 22
It is a sequence of adding 3, putting 21, adding 4 to the result of adding 3.

8 11 {21} = The difference is 3.
15 18 {21} = The difference is 3.
22 25 {21} = The difference is 3.
15 18 {21} = The difference is 3.
22 25 {21} = The difference is 3.

8 +7 = 15.
11 + 7 = 18.
21 common.
15 + 7 = 22.

21 common.
So, the answer is 25 21.
11 + 7 = 18.
21 common.
15 + 7 = 22.

8+3=11,
11-21=10
10+3=13.
15-18=3,
18-21=3
3+3=6.
Then 13-6=7.
22+3=25, 25-4 = 21.
22,25,21.
11-21=10
10+3=13.
15-18=3,
18-21=3
3+3=6.
Then 13-6=7.
22+3=25, 25-4 = 21.
22,25,21.

8 + 7 = 15,
15 + 7 = 22,
11 + 7 = 18,
18 + 7 = 25,
21 is constant.
Every number add 7 except 21.
15 + 7 = 22,
11 + 7 = 18,
18 + 7 = 25,
21 is constant.
Every number add 7 except 21.
