The sequence is constructed by converting a given term to Roman Numerals and considering the number of line segments required to write it.
Accordingly, we must have :
1--> I--> 1
2--> II --> 2
3--> III--> 3
4--> IV--> 3
5--> V --> 2
6 --> VI --> 3
7--> VII --> 4
8--> VIII--> 5
9 --> IX--> 3
10--> X--> 2
11--> XI--> 3
12 --> XII--> 4
13--> XIII--> 5
14--> XIV --> 5
15 --> XV--> 4
16 --> XVI --> 5
17 --> XVII --> 6
18--> XVIII--> 7
19--> XIX--> 5
20--> XX --> 4
21 --> XXI --> 5
22--> XXII --> 6
Since the first 21 terms are given, and we are asked to determine the 22nd term - it follows that the value of the required following term is 6.
