Find the next term of the following letter series :
DHL, PTX, BFJ, .....

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the next term in the letter series DHL, PTX, BFJ, we need to analyze the pattern in the sequence.

1. **Analyzing the Pattern:**
   - **DHL:**
     - D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.
     - H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
     - L is the 12th letter of the alphabet.
     - The pattern here is an increment of 4 (D to H to L).

- **PTX:**
     - P is the 16th letter of the alphabet.
     - T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.
     - X is the 24th letter of the alphabet.
     - The pattern here is also an increment of 4 (P to T to X).

- **BFJ:**
     - B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet.
     - F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.
     - J is the 10th letter of the alphabet.
     - The pattern here is again an increment of 4 (B to F to J).

2. **Finding the Next Term:**
   - Following the same pattern of incrementing by 4:
     - Start with the next letter after B, which is N (14th letter).
     - The next letter after F is R (18th letter).
     - The next letter after J is V (22nd letter).

- Therefore, the next term in the series is NRV.

3. **Explanation of Options:**
   - **Option 1: CGK**
     - C (3rd), G (7th), K (11th) do not follow the pattern of incrementing by 4.
   - **Option 2: KOS**
     - K (11th), O (15th), S (19th) do not follow the pattern of incrementing by 4.
   - **Option 3: NRV**
     - N (14th), R (18th), V (22nd) follow the pattern of incrementing by 4, making this the correct answer.
   - **Option 4: OVZ**
     - O (15th), V (22nd), Z (26th) do not follow the pattern of incrementing by 4.

Thus, the correct answer is Option 3: NRV, as it follows the established pattern of incrementing each letter by 4 in the series.
