Question

 Find the next term in the series
CAT, EER GIP, __ KUL

• A. JOM
• B. ION
• C. LNM
• D. KLP

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To find the next term in the series CAT, EER, GIP, __, KUL, we need to examine the pattern in the letter series.

Let's analyze each term by its position:

• Term 1 (CAT): Compare the letters with their positions in the alphabet:
  • C is the 3rd letter
  • A is the 1st letter
  • T is the 20th letter
• Term 2 (EER): Each letter moves forward in the alphabet by a certain rule:
  • E is the 5th letter (3 + 2)
  • E is the 5th letter (1 + 4)
  • R is the 18th letter (20 - 2)
• Term 3 (GIP): Following a consistent pattern in shift:
  • G is the 7th letter (5 + 2)
  • I is the 9th letter (5 + 4)
  • P is the 16th letter (18 - 2)

Here we can infer a pattern of increment and decrement:

• The first letter of each term is increasing by 2 positions each time.
• The middle letter of each term is increasing by 4 positions each time.
• The last letter of each term is decreasing by 2 positions each time.

Now, let's determine the next term using this pattern:

• For the first letter after G: 7 + 2 = 9, which corresponds to the letter I.
• For the middle letter after I: 9 + 4 = 13, which corresponds to the letter N.
• For the last letter after P: 16 - 2 = 14, which corresponds to the letter O.

Thus, the next term is ION.

This matches the given answer option ION.
