. Find the next letter of the series A, C, F, J, ?
Last updated Jul 28, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option B —
O
To find the next letter, let's look at how many steps we take forward in the alphabet to get from one letter to the next:From A to C, we skip one letter (B), which means we move forward by two steps.
From C to F, we skip two letters (D and E), which means we move forward by three steps.
From F to J, we skip three letters (G, H, and I), which means we move forward by four steps.
Notice the pattern: the number of steps increases by one each time. First two, then three, then four. Following this logic, we need to move forward by five steps from J.
If we count five steps forward from J (skipping K, L, M, and N), we land on O.
