Question

Which letter replaces the question mark? A, D, G, J, M, ? 
 

• A. P
• B. Q
• C. R
• D. S

Hint:

Convert letters to their alphabetical positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) to identify arithmetic patterns in sequences. Check differences between terms for consistency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem, we need to find the pattern in the given sequence of letters and then determine the letter that replaces the question mark.

1. Understanding the Sequence:

The given sequence is: A, D, G, J, M, ?

2. Observing the Pattern:

- Find the position of each letter in the alphabet:
A = 1
D = 4
G = 7
J = 10
M = 13

- Calculate the difference between the positions of consecutive letters:

4 - 1 = 3
7 - 4 = 3
10 - 7 = 3
13 - 10 = 3

The pattern is that each letter is 3 positions ahead of the previous letter in the alphabet.

3. Finding the Next Letter:

Starting from M (position 13), add 3:

13 + 3 = 16

The 16th letter in the alphabet is P.

Final Answer:

The letter that replaces the question mark is P.
