The simple alternating subtraction and addition series;
1 is subtracted then 2 is added
22 - 1 = 21,
21 + 2 = 23,
23 - 1 = 22,
22 + 2 = 24,
24 - 1 = 23,
23 + 2 = 25.
The correct answer is 25.
1 is subtracted then 2 is added
22 - 1 = 21,
21 + 2 = 23,
23 - 1 = 22,
22 + 2 = 24,
24 - 1 = 23,
23 + 2 = 25.
The correct answer is 25.

22-1= 21+2 = 23
23-1= 22+2 = 25.
In this number series, 1 has been subtracted with first given number, then again 2 has been added with (subtracted) obtained number.
So, the right answer will be 25.
23-1= 22+2 = 25.
In this number series, 1 has been subtracted with first given number, then again 2 has been added with (subtracted) obtained number.
