What is the next term in the series: P1, O2, N3, M4, L5, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The letters are decreasing by 1 each time (P, O, N, M, L,
K),
and the numbers are increasing by 1.
So, the next term is K6.
62
What is the next term in the series: Z1, Y2, X3, W4, V5, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The letters are decreasing by 1 each time (Z, Y, X, W, V,
U),
and the numbers are increasing by 1.
So, the next term is U6.
63
What is the next term in the series: A1, C3, F6, J10, O15, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The numbers follow the sequence 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, which
increases by 2, 3, 4, 5, respectively.
The letters follow a sequence where the positions in the
alphabet increase by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively (A, C, F, J, O, Q).
So, the next term is Q21.
64
What is the next term in the series: A1, C5, E14, G30, I55, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The letters are increasing by 2 positions each time (A, C, E,
G, I, J).
The numbers follow the sequence 1, 5, 14, 30, 55, which are
triangular numbers:
1,1+4=5, 5+9=14,14+16=30, 30+25=55.
The next number will be 55+36=91.
So, the next term is J91.
65
What is the next term in the series: A2, D5, G10, J17, M26, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The numbers follow the pattern 2,5,10,17,26 which increases
by consecutive odd numbers:
5−2=3, 10−5=5, 17−10=7, 26−17=9.
The next difference is 11, so 26+11=37.
The letters follow the sequence A, D, G, J, M, P, which increases by 3 each
time.
So, the next term is P37.
66
What is the next term in the series: A1, D4, I9, O16, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The numbers follow a sequence of perfect squares: 1², 2²,
3², 4², 5², so the next number should be 52=25
The letters follow a pattern of +3, +4, +5, +6 (A, D, I, O, T).
So, the next term is T25.
67
What is the next term in the series: Z26, X26, V26, T26, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The letters are moving backward by 2 positions each time (Z,
X, V, T, R).
The numbers remain constant (26).
So, the next term is R26.
68
What is the next term in the series: A1, C4, E9, G16, I25, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The numbers follow the sequence of perfect squares: 1², 2²,
3², 4², 5².
The next number will be 62=36
The letters follow an increment of 2: A, C, E, G, I, K.
So, the next term is K36.
69
Which of the following is the next term in the sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, ___?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
The pattern is formed by adding consecutive odd numbers:
2 + 3 = 5
5 + 5 = 10
10 + 7 = 17
17 + 9 = 24
