Few of the letters are given followed by a question mark (?) these letters are following a specific pattern you have to give the correct option which can replace question mark. Which letter comes next in the series: B, F, K, Q, ?
X
To find the next term of a letter series, first convert each letter to its position number in the English alphabet.
Doing this gives B = 2, F = 6, K = 11 and Q = 17.
Now find the gaps (differences) between consecutive positions: from 2 to 6 is \(+4\), from 6 to 11 is \(+5\), and from 11 to 17 is \(+6\).
The gaps themselves form a simple increasing pattern 4, 5, 6 — each gap is one more than the previous one.
So the next gap must be \(+7\), placing the required letter at position \(17 + 7 = 24\).
The 24th letter of the alphabet is X (…V=22, W=23, X=24), which matches the given option.
Hence the letter that replaces the question mark is X.
