Why not 22? 22 21 23, 22 24 23, 22 27 23 can also happen right?

And another alternative numbers:
= 21 22 23 24.
So the answer is 25.

Another way to solve problem:
Sum alternatively it will get
22 + 1 = 23
23 + 1 = 24
21 + 1 = 22
22 + 1 = 23
so
24 + 1 = 25.
Sum alternatively it will get
22 + 1 = 23
23 + 1 = 24
21 + 1 = 22
22 + 1 = 23
so
24 + 1 = 25.

22-21 = 1,
21-23 = -2,
23-22 = 1,
22-24 = -2,
24-23 = 1,
23-25 = -2.
21-23 = -2,
23-22 = 1,
22-24 = -2,
24-23 = 1,
23-25 = -2.
