Question

Which pair does NOT belong to the following sequence?

B7, C9, F11, H13, J17

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

J17

In the sequence B7, C9, F11, H13, the number exceeds the alphabet position by a fixed value of five (B=2+5=7, F=6+5=11, H=8+5=13). J17 breaks this rule since J is the tenth letter and 10+5=15, not 17, so J17 does not belong to the series.
