Question

Complete the series.
BMK DLM FKO HJQ?
a. JIR
b. JHS
c. JIS
d. JGK

Answer 1

Option c(JIS) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The first alphabets in each term of the series differ by one alphabet.

BMK DLM FKO HJQ, SO next term in the series would have the alphabet J.

• The second alphabets in each term of the series are one previous alphabet.

BMK DLM FKO HJQ, SO next term in the series would have the alphabet I.

• The third alphabets in each term of the series differ by one alphabet.

BMK DLM FKO HJQ, SO next term in the series would have the alphabet S.

So, the last term of the series is JIS.

Answer 2

Given: A series of numbers BMK, DLM, FKO, HJQ,?

To Find: The next term in the series is?

Solution:

The given problem can be solved by developing a common logic between every term.

1. The given series is BMK, DLM, FKO, HJQ,?

2. The second term in the series is obtained as,

=>  Second term = DLM = (B+2)(M-1)(K+2),

3. The third term of the series is obtained as,

=> Third term = FKO = (D+2)(L-1)(M+2),

4. The fourth term of the series is obtained as,

=> Fourth term = HJQ = (F+2)(J-1)(O+2),  

5. The Fifth term of the series can be obtained using similar logic,

=> Fifth term = (H+2)(J-1)(Q+2),

=> Fifth term = JIS.

Therefore, the next term in the series is JIS. Option C is the correct answer.
