Question

Find the right alternative in the given series:

BEG, DGI, FIK, HKM,

  1. A. JMO (Correct answer)
  2. B. KMO
  3. C. JML
  4. D. JNP

Correct Answer

Option A — JMO

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is JMO.

Key Points

  • Compare consecutive terms letter by letter: B → D → F → H, E → G → I → K, G → I → K → M. Every letter advances two places.
  • Applying that to HKM: H + 2 = J, K + 2 = M, M + 2 = O, giving JMO.

Additional Information

  • Note the internal structure as a cross-check: within each term the gaps are +3 then +2 — B→E→G, D→G→I, and so on — and JMO follows the same shape.
  • Treat each letter position as its own sequence; that reduces almost every letter-series question to simple arithmetic.
  • Keep the alphabet with position numbers written down, and remember it wraps from Z back to A.
