(C). R
(D). V
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Explanation
Analysis
First, let's assign a numerical value to each letter based on its position in the alphabet:
Now, let's calculate the difference between consecutive terms:
-
C−A=3−1=2
-
F−C=6−3=3
-
J−F=10−6=4
The pattern of the difference is increasing by 1 each time (+2,+3,+4).
Finding the Next Two Terms
1. Finding the 5th term:
The next difference should be +5.
The 15th letter of the alphabet is O.
2. Finding the 6th term:
The next difference should be +6.
The 21st letter of the alphabet is U.
Conclusion
The next two terms are O and U. Looking at your provided options, these correspond to:
The correct sequence completion is O, U.
