Every third number is subtracted by 5 i.e 25, 20, -.

And others a follow the pattern of adding 3 with the consecutive numbers, i.e 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19-.

3, 7, 25, 10, __, 20, 16, 19
3, 7, 25
7 + 3 = 10,
10+3=13,
25-5=20.
13+3=16,
16+3=19,
20-5=15.

Therefore: 3, 7, 25, 10, 13, 20, 16, 19, 15

4, 7, 25, 10, __, 20, 16, 19, ... (TWO set of series).

4, 4+3=7, 7+3=10, 10+3=13, 13+3=16---> 4,7,10,13,16 13 is the right answer.

4 + 6 = 10,
10 + 6 = 16,
25 - 5 = 20,
20 - 5 = 15,
7 + 6 = 13,
13 + 6 = 19.

2nd series 25 20 15 10.

So, the answer is 13.
