Instruction just says:
NUMBER AND LETTER SERIES

I am not a mathematician, just average at basic Math just common sense analizing the numbers series. I would pick 19 as the answer. Take the difference of

10/14=4
14/11=3
11/18=7
18/18=0
18/22=4
The next pattern difference is 3. Therefore, 22 minus 3=19
22/__=3
22-3=19

Hope this helps.
