20.
1, 5, 5, 9, 7, 11, 11, 15, 12, 17
Answer: Option

The given sequence is a combination of two series:
I. 1, 5, 7, 11, 12 and II. 5, 9, 11, 15, 17
The pattern in both I and II is + 4, + 2, + 4, + 2. So, 12 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 + 2) i.e. 13.

The difference is 4, 0, 4, 2, 4, 0, 4, 2 after this there should be a difference of 4 which means in the series there should be 16 instead of 17.

The first letter followed by 5, 5 and one odd no are available. In this sequence continuously. But 12 followed by another no. So the no 12 is wrong in the series.
