To solve this sequence problem, analyze the pattern formed by the letters.
The given sequence is: F K ? U Z.
Let's break down the positions of each letter in the alphabet:
Letter | Position |
---|
F | 6 |
K | 11 |
? | x |
U | 21 |
Z | 26 |
We must find the pattern of increments between these positions:
- From F (6) to K (11): 11 - 6 = 5
- From K (11) to x: x - 11
- From x to U (21): 21 - x
- From U (21) to Z (26): 26 - 21 = 5
Notice the pattern: the differences are consistently 5.
Now, apply the same step between K and the unknown letter to maintain the sequence:
- The difference from K (11) should be 5 as well: x - 11 = 5
- Solving for x gives: x = 16
The letter at position 16 is P.
Hence, the correct option to replace the question mark is P.
