Step 1: Analyze the differences between consecutive terms

Let us find the difference between each consecutive number in the given series to identify the underlying pattern:

• First difference:

  $$21-11=10$$

• Second difference:

  $$33-21=12$$

• Third difference:

  $$47-33=14$$

Step 2: Identify the pattern

The differences between the consecutive numbers are $10,12,\text{ and }14$. As we can observe, the differences are increasing consecutively by $+2$ (which form a series of consecutive even numbers).

Following this established logic, the next difference in the sequence must be:

$$14+2=16$$

Step 3: Calculate the missing term

To get the next number in the series, we add this next difference ($16$) to the last known term ($47$):

$$\text{Next term}=47+16$$

$$\text{Next term}=63$$
