Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: 15

Explanation:

Look at the sequence: 21, 9, 21, 11, 21, 13, 21, ...

The sequence alternates between two subsequences:

  • Terms in odd positions (1, 3, 5, 7, ...): 21, 21, 21, 21 — always 21.

  • Terms in even positions (2, 4, 6, 8, ...): 9, 11, 13, ... — start at 9 and increase by 2 each time.

The next term is an even-position term following 13, so it is 15.
