Question

Which is the next letter in the letter series given below?
B, D, H, P, F, ?

• A. J
• B. K
• C. L
• D. M

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: The pattern of the given letters follows a systematic sequence based on their positions in the alphabet. The sequence of their positions is:

• B (2)
• D (4)
• H (8)
• P (16) 
• F (6)

Step 2: The difference between the position numbers seems to follow a pattern:

• From B (2) to D (4), the difference is 2.
• From D (4) to H (8), the difference is 4.
• From H (8) to P (16), the difference is 8.
• From P (16) to F (6), the difference is a reset, but keeping with the pattern of powers of 2 (2, 4, 8), we can assume the next letter in the sequence should maintain this doubling pattern.

Step 3: Following the doubling pattern, the next difference should be 16, which corresponds to the letter L (12).
