Question

Match the pattern of letters to the next letter in the pattern.

• A. K
• B. Y
• C. M

Answer 1

By assigning numbers to the letters of the English alphabet, we get:


Consider pattern A, D, G, J.
The numbers corresponding to the letters are 1, 4, 7, and 10.

$1+3=4$
$4+3=7$
$7+3=10$
∴ The next number in the pattern is $10+3=13.$

The letter corresponding to 13 is M.

Thus, the next letter in pattern A, D, G, J is M.

Similarly, consider C, E, G, I. The numbers corresponding to the letters are 3, 5, 7, and 9.

$3+2=5$
$5+2=7$
$7+2=9$

∴ The next number will be $9+2=11.$

The letter corresponding to 11 is K.

Consider U, V, W, X. The numbers corresponding to the letters are 21, 22, 23, and 24.

∴ The next number is 25.

The letter corresponding to 25 is Y.
