Question

B, C, E, G, K, M, Q, S, ________
What is the next alphabet in this sequence?

• A. T
• B. U
• C. V
• D. W

Hint:

Try converting letters to positions and look for alternating or recurring numeric differences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Convert letters to their alphabetical positions:
B = 2,\quad C = 3,\quad E = 5,\quad G = 7,\quad K = 11,\quad M = 13,\quad Q = 17,\quad S = 19
Step 2: Observe the pattern of differences:
C - B = 1
E - C = 2
G - E = 2
K - G = 4
M - K = 2
Q - M = 4
S - Q = 2
The pattern of differences alternates between 2 and 4:
1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, next difference should be 4
S = 19 ⇒ 19 + 4 = 23 ⇒ 23\textsuperscript{rd} letter is V % Final Answer \[ \boxed{V} \]
