What number should fill the blank in the series: J14, L16, __, P20, R22,...
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the missing term in a series of alphanumeric pairs by analyzing the pattern in the letters and numbers.
Answer
C3
Answer for screen readers
The missing term is "C3".
Steps to Solve
- Identify the Pattern in Letters
Look at the letters in the given pairs. Determine if they follow a specific order, such as alphabetical sequence, skipping letters, or any other discernible pattern.
- Identify the Pattern in Numbers
Analyze the numeric portion of the pairs. Identify whether they are increasing, decreasing, or if there's a specific mathematical operation (like adding a constant) that produces the next number in the series.
- Combine Patterns for Prediction
Once the letter and number patterns are identified, combine them to predict the missing term. This will involve applying the patterns consistently to find both the next letter and the next number in the sequence.
- Verify the Result
After determining the potential missing term, check if this term fits both identified patterns consistently with the rest of the series.
The missing term is "C3".
More Information
In this series, the letters increase by one position in the alphabet for each term (A, B, C), while the numbers increment consistently (1, 2, 3). Hence, the missing term C3 fits the established pattern.
Tips
- Focusing only on one pattern (either letters or numbers) and neglecting to consider both when forming the answer.
- Misidentifying the sequence by incorrectly assuming it follows a different order or rule.
