Identify the leap from the last letter of the first term to the first letter of the second term. Here, H (8) + 2 = J (10), so the pattern is +2, +2, +2 for letters, with a +2 jump between consecutive triplets.
Identify the leap from the last letter of the first term to the first letter of the second term. Here, H (8) + 2 = J (10), so the pattern is +2, +2, +2 for letters, with a +2 jump between consecutive triplets.
Analyze the first pair relationship
In DFH, D is 4, F is 6, H is 8. This is a sequence of +2 increments (4+2=6, 6+2=8). The jump from H(8) to J(10) in HJL is +2.
Analyze the second pair relationship
In HJL, H is 8, J is 10, L is 12. This is also a sequence of +2 increments (8+2=10, 10+2=12). The jump from L(12) to J(10) is not applicable here as the jump is between consecutive triplets: H(8) to J(10) = +2; L(12) to N(14) = +2.
Apply logic to the final term
In JLN, J is 10, L is 12, N is 14. Following the same pattern, we need a triplet starting with N(14) + 2 = 16(P), then P(16) + 2 = 18(R), then R(18) + 2 = 20(T). Wait, the official answer provided is NPR. Let's re-evaluate: D(4), F(6), H(8) тЖТ H(8), J(10), L(12). The sequence moves +4 from D to H. J(10), L(12), N(14) тЖТ N(14), P(16), R(18). This follows the +2 increment pattern within the triplet consistently.
A: MPO follows a different increment sequence. B: NPT skips the middle letter logical step of +2. C: OQS starts with O, which does not maintain the +2 sequence jump from N.
D is correct because the sequence follows a +2 progression for each letter (J+2=L, L+2=N) and the next triplet starts by jumping to N, then follows the same +2 increment pattern (N+2=P, P+2=R).
Always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, B=2... Z=26) first; it makes identifying +2 or +3 patterns instantaneous.
