BFG, DHI, FJK, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given sequence:
BFG, DHI, FJK, ?
Consider the position of each letter individually.
First letters:
B → D → F → ?
Alphabetical position: B(2), D(4), F(6) → Increasing by +2 each time.
Therefore, the next letter is: 6 + 2 = 8 → H.
Second letters:
F → H → J → ?
Position: F(6), H(8), J(10) → Increasing by +2 each time.
Therefore, the next letter is: 10 + 2 = 12 → L.
Third letters:
G → I → K → ?
Position: G(7), I(9), K(11) → Increasing by +2 each time.
Thus, the next letter is 11 + 2 = 13 → M.
Therefore, the next term is HLM.
Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
