Question 32
MediumOriginal questionWhich group of letters should come next in the series BDF, HJL, NPR, ?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Inside each group the letters skip one: B, D, F; H, J, L; N, P, R.
The groups start at B = 2, H = 8, N = 14, jumping 6 each time, so the next starts at 20, which is T.
Skipping one letter each time from T gives T, V, X.
Worth noting
TUV keeps the start but forgets that the letters inside the group skip one.
