simple
1+4=5
5+3=9
9+6 =14
16+6=21
I hope so this can only be a simple logic of sequence completion.
cheers

Sewa ji,
I think the series is
1, 5, 9, 15, 25, 37, 49, 63.....
No.__Square__Term
1 _____1______1
2 _____4______4+1=5
3 _____9______9
4 _____16_____16-1=15
5 _____25_____25
6 _____36_____36+1=37
7 _____49_____49
6 _____64_____64-1=63
9 _____81_____81
10____100____100+1=101
......
......
Square of odd no.s same and +1 and -1 [alternatingly]to square of even no.s

Well, the answer is 21.
All the numbers correspond to the numerical values of the vowels in the alphabets.
