They are giving only prime no. So after 11, 13 only a prime no. So answer is 13.

Prime number 13 should be the answer because it completes the series after 11. 15 isn't prime number as it is divisible by 3 and 5, thus 13 in the next series. Prime numbers are numbers that are divisible only by number itself and 1.
