Each answer moves
one numerical base downwards.
So
1 + 4 = 5 (5 in decimal = 5 in base 6)
2 + 5 = 12 (7 in decimal = 12 in base 5)
3 + 6 = 21 (9 in decimal = 21 in base 4)
8 + 11 = 201 (19 in decimal = 201 in base 3)

1$\begingroup$ Wow very impressive and absolutely correct. That is the answer I was looking for and u got it in record time (so quickly I could not even accept your answer so soon as it would not allow me to). I think the low numbered digits ($0,1,2$) was somewhat of a giveaway though. $\endgroup$ – David James Aug 29 '16 at 6:05

The first number is
(1 , 2, 3, ....Etc) + Second number (1,2,3,4 .. Etc) = (First number+ First number * second number).
Or for better understanding:
X + Y = (X+XY)
