What comes in place of the question mark (?) in the series given below?
\(B2D, C3F, E5J, G7N, ?, M13Z\)
K11V
- K11Z
- K9W
I9R
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The given series is B2D, C3F, E5J, G7N, ?, M13Z. We need to identify the pattern in each part of the sequence to find the missing element.
Step 1: Analyze the letter pattern:
- First Letter: B, C, E, G, ?, M. The letters are increasing in the sequence of odd positions in the English alphabet: B(2), C(3), E(5), G(7), ? = K(11), M(13). Hence, the missing letter is K.
- Second Letter: D, F, J, N. These letters follow a pattern of skipping 1 alphabet: D(4), F(6), (next: H but skipped), J(10), N(14), (next: R but skipped). So, the missing letter is V(22), where V is four places ahead of N in the alphabet (N(14)+4=V(22)).
Step 2: Number Pattern:
- The numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, ?, 13, which are prime numbers following their natural sequence. The next prime after 7 is 11. Hence, the number is 11.
By combining our findings, we get the missing term as K11V. The correct answer is K11V.
