Explanation

Every number given in the series is following the pattern of operations + 1, + 2, + 3, + 3, + 2, + 1.

5 + 1 = 6 6 + 2 = 8 8 + 3 = 11 11 + 3 = 14 14 + 2 = 16 16 + 1 = 17 Similarly, 1 should be added to 17 in order to follow the pattern of operations + 1, + 2, + 3, + 3, + 2, + 1. So, 17 + 1 = 18
