Each cycle is having an difference of 2 ie,

16 - 9 = 7
25 - 16 = 9
36 - 25 = 11
49 - 36 = 13, so each answer is having a increase in 2 digit.

ie 7+2=9 and so on
so in the third round, we have 49 so add 49+(13+2)=49+15=64 hence answer.

Another process

36 - 16 + 9 = 29 - 4 = 25.
49 - 25 + 16 = 40 - 4 = 36.
81 - 49 + 36 = 68 - 4 = 64.

So the answer is 64.
