a, b, d, g, ?
Solving the Alphabet Series: a, b, d, g, ?
The goal is to identify the pattern in the given alphabet series and find the missing letter represented by the question mark (?). The series provided is: a, b, d, g, ?
Pattern Identification in the Series
Let's determine the position of each letter in the alphabet and find the difference between consecutive letters:
- 'a' is the 1st letter.
- 'b' is the 2nd letter. The difference between 'b' and 'a' is $2 - 1 = 1$.
- 'd' is the 4th letter. The difference between 'd' and 'b' is $4 - 2 = 2$.
- 'g' is the 7th letter. The difference between 'g' and 'd' is $7 - 4 = 3$.
The pattern observed in the differences between consecutive letters is an increasing sequence: +1, +2, +3.
Calculating the Next Letter
Following the established pattern, the next difference in the sequence should be +4.
- The last letter given is 'g', which is the 7th letter.
- Add the next difference (+4) to the position of 'g': $7 + 4 = 11$.
- The 11th letter of the alphabet is 'k'.
Conclusion
Therefore, the letter 'k' replaces the question mark (?) in the series. This corresponds to Option 4.
