What comes next in the series? A, C, F, J, O, ?
This question requires identifying the pattern in the given alphabet series and finding the next term.
Alphabet Series Pattern Analysis
The series is: A, C, F, J, O, ?
Let's examine the gaps (number of letters skipped) between consecutive terms:
- A to C: Skip 1 letter (B).
- C to F: Skip 2 letters (D, E).
- F to J: Skip 3 letters (G, H, I).
- J to O: Skip 4 letters (K, L, M, N).
Identifying the Progression
The number of skipped letters follows a clear pattern of increasing by 1 each time: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Finding the Next Term
Following the established pattern, the next step requires skipping 5 letters after O.
The letters after O are P, Q, R, S, T. Skipping these 5 letters brings us to the next letter in the series.
Therefore, the next letter is U.
