Question
Find the right alternative in the given series:
BEG, DGI, FIK, HKM,
- A. JMO (Correct answer)
- B. KMO
- C. JML
- 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.
