Question

Which should come next at the end of this row of letters: a b d g?

Answer 1

Next letter will be k.

Explanation:

we have to find the letter which will come next at the end of the row of letters

a b d g.

First we will write the alphabets as below to understand the sequence

a b c d e f g h i j k

Between a and b alphabet skipped = 0

Between b and d alphabets skipped = 1 (c)

Between d and g skipped alphabets = 2 (e and f)

Therefore after g number of alphabets skipped will be = 3 (h i j)

Next alphabet will be k.

Answer 2

Refer to the figure shown below.

From a to b, we skip 1 letter.
From b to d, we skip 2 letters.
From d to g, we skip 3 letters.

Inductively, we should skip 4 letters to arrive at the next letter, which is k.

Answer: k
