Consider the alphabetic series: A, C, F, J. What are the next two terms of the series?
- L and P
- O and U
- M and R
- S and U
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - O and U
By alphabet position the series is A(1), C(3), F(6), J(10), so the gaps are +2, +3 and +4. Continuing, +5 gives O(15) and +6 gives U(21). The pairs that stop at M or L use too small a gap after J.
