What comes next in the following letter series? B, E, J, Q, Z, _____?
- K
- L
- M
- None of these
Explanation
Let's find the pattern in B, E, J, Q, Z, ?
Look at alphabet positions:
B = 2
E = 5
J = 10
Q = 17
Z = 26
Now check the differences:
5 - 2 = +3
10 - 5 = +5
17 - 10 = +7
26 - 17 = +9
The differences are +3, +5, +7, +9... odd numbers increasing by 2
Next difference should be +11
26 + 11 = 37
Alphabet wraps around after 26. So 37 - 26 = 11
11th letter = K
