It is the sum of the three Consecutive numbers like :

1,3,4,8,15,27
1+(3+4)=8.
3+(4+8)=15.
4+(8+15)=27.

Like wise add the other numbers to get 50.
So, 8+(15+27)=50.

Adding 3 numbers like;
1 + 3 + 4 = 8,
3 + 4 + 8 = 15,
4 + 8 + 15 = 27.
so here;
8 + 15 + 27 = 50.

The series are set of triplets. The sum of three numbers is the next number.

Using this logic we can determine 50 as the answer.
