What comes next?
D4, W23, E5, V22, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Sequence: D4, W23, E5, V22, ?
Analyze the letter pattern:
The sequence of letters is:
D → W → E → V → ?
In the alphabet, we can see that the letters alternate between:
(D → E → ?) → From D (4) to E (5) is +1.
(W → V → ?) → From W (23) to V (22) is -1.
Following this alternating pattern:
After E (5), the next letter should be F (6).
Analyze the number pattern
The numbers are:
4 → 23 → 5 → 22 → ?
We can see that the numbers alternate between small and large values:
4 → 5 (+1)
23 → 22 (-1)
Following the same alternating pattern:
After 5, the next number should be 6.
Therefore, the next term should be F6.
The correct answer is option 4.
