    here,

    a1=-1

    a2=-1+4 =3

    a3= 3+4=7

    a4=7+4=11

    using the general formula for nth term of an ap

    an =  - 1 + (n - 1)d \\ here \: a =  - 1 \: and \: d = 4 \\  \\ an =  - 1(n - 1)(4) =  - 1 + 4 - 4  \\ 4n - 5 \\  \\ hence \: a25  =  \\ 4(25) - 5 = 100 - 5 = 95

    Answer= a25 = 95
