Select the term that will come next in the following series. 31J, 29F, 31M, 30A, 31M, 30J, ?
Series Completion: Finding the Next Term
The task is to find the next term in the sequence: 31J, 29F, 31M, 30A, 31M, 30J, ? We need to identify the pattern governing both the numbers and the letters.
Number Pattern Analysis
Observe the sequence of numbers: 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30. These numbers represent the typical number of days in consecutive months.
Letter Pattern Analysis
Observe the sequence of letters: J, F, M, A, M, J. These letters correspond to the first letter of the months of the year:
- J represents January (which has 31 days)
- F represents February (which has 28 or 29 days; 29 is used here)
- M represents March (which has 31 days)
- A represents April (which has 30 days)
- M represents May (which has 31 days)
- J represents June (which has 30 days)
Determining the Next Term
The pattern follows the months sequentially starting from January.
- The last given term corresponds to June (J, 30 days).
- The next month in the calendar is July.
- July has 31 days.
- The first letter of July is J.
- Combining the number of days (31) and the initial letter (J) gives the next term.
Therefore, the next term in the series is 31J.
