Alphabet Series Pattern Analysis

The given series is FVM, ITK, LRI, OPG, ?

We need to find the pattern governing the change between consecutive terms.

Analyzing Letter Positions

Let's examine the position of each letter in the English alphabet:

  • Term 1: F (6), V (22), M (13)
  • Term 2: I (9), T (20), K (11)
  • Term 3: L (12), R (18), I (9)
  • Term 4: O (15), P (16), G (7)

Identifying the Pattern

Observe the sequence for each letter position separately:

  1. First Letter: F (6), I (9), L (12), O (15)
    • The difference between consecutive letters is +3 (e.g., \(9 - 6 = 3\), \(12 - 9 = 3\), \(15 - 12 = 3\)).
    • The next letter will be \(15 + 3 = 18\), which corresponds to R.
  2. Second Letter: V (22), T (20), R (18), P (16)
    • The difference between consecutive letters is -2 (e.g., \(20 - 22 = -2\), \(18 - 20 = -2\), \(16 - 18 = -2\)).
    • The next letter will be \(16 - 2 = 14\), which corresponds to N.
  3. Third Letter: M (13), K (11), I (9), G (7)
    • The difference between consecutive letters is -2 (e.g., \(11 - 13 = -2\), \(9 - 11 = -2\), \(7 - 9 = -2\)).
    • The next letter will be \(7 - 2 = 5\), which corresponds to E.

Determining the Missing Term

Combining the results from the pattern analysis:

  • The first letter is R.
  • The second letter is N.
  • The third letter is E.

Therefore, the missing term in the series is RNE.
