AX, JQ, SJ, ?

SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

BC

Step 1 – first letters: A(1) → J(10) → S(19) → ?

The pattern is +9 each time. So next is S(19) + 9 = 28; since alphabet wraps after 26, 28 − 26 = 2 = B.

Step 2 – second letters: X(24) → Q(17) → J(10) → ?

The pattern is −7 each time. So next is J(10) − 7 = 3 = C.

Hence the next pair is BC.
