Question

Find the next term: 1A, 4E, 7I, 10M, 13Q …

• A. 15U
• B. 16T
• C. 16U
• D. 15V

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16U

The given sequence is 1A, 4E, 7I, 10M, 13Q …

We can split the above sequence into two sequences:

1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...

A, E, I, M, Q, ...

For the number pattern, we observe that each term is 3 more than the preceding term.

So, the next term in the sequence will be 13 + 3 = 16

The alphabets are:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

The sequence A, E, I, M, Q, ... the next term in the sequence is obtained by skipping three alphabets and jumping to the fourth one, starting with A.

So, the next alphabet in the sequence is U.

On combing the sequence of the numbers and the alphabets, next term in the sequence is 16U.

So, the pattern is 1A, 4E, 7I, 10M, 13Q, 16U, ...
