The logic is:

1st number × 7 - 8 = second number

1. 21 ∶ 139 → 21 × 7 - 8 = 147 - 8 = 139

2. 25 : 167 → 25 × 7 - 8 = 175 - 8 = 167

3. 15 : 197 → 15 × 7 - 8 = 105 - 8 = 97 ≠ 197

4. 27 : 181 → 27 × 7 - 8 = 189 - 8 = 181

Except option 3, all options are follow the given logic. thus option 3 is an odd one.

Hence, ‘15 : 197’ is the odd one out.
