Observe the pattern and select the next term in the sequence: CAB, FAE, IAH
Correct answer: B. LAK
- A. JHK
- B. LAK
- C. JGK
- D. IGJ
Explanation
Noticing the pattern, we can conclude that the middle letter in each sequence is A. Moreover, the first and last letter of each sequence is related by a factor of 2 letters in between them(C and F have D and E between them, F and I have G and H between them). Threfore, logically the next sequence should begin with letter L(leaving J and K between I and L). For the last letter simlar logic will be followed and the last letter should be K.
