Which of the following options will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? B3, D6, F9, H12, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Given Series: B3, D6, F9, H12, ?

Analyze the letter pattern:

The letters are: B, D, F, H, ?

In the alphabet: B = 2, D = 4, F = 6, H = 8

Position increases by +2 each time: 2 → 4 → 6 → 8 → 10

The 10th letter in the alphabet is J.

Analyze the number pattern:

The numbers are: 3, 6, 9, 12, ?

Numbers increase by +3 each time: 3 → 6 → 9 → 12 → 15

Next number is 15.

So, the next term is J15.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
