Find the next term in the series: fm,ho,jq,?

Answer:
The given series consists of pairs of letters. Let’s break down the pattern:

  • fm: The difference between the positions of ‘f’ and ‘m’ in the alphabet is 10.
  • ho: The difference between the positions of ‘h’ and ‘o’ in the alphabet is 7.
  • jq: The difference between the positions of ‘j’ and ‘q’ in the alphabet is 9.

Analyzing the differences, we observe that the pattern consists of alternating increasing numbers. Therefore, for the next term:

  • The difference between ‘q’ and the next letter should be 11.

By adding 11 to the position of ‘q’ (which is 17), we find the next letter in the alphabet:

  • 17 + 11 = 28

Since the alphabet has 26 letters, the 28th letter corresponds to the letter ‘ab’. Therefore, the next term in the series should be ‘ab’.
