Correct Answer :

Option B

GDJ24

Solution :

The correct option is GDJ24.

To find the missing term in the sequence AXD6, CZF12, EBH18, ?, IFL30, we analyze the pattern followed by each of the four components: the first letter, the second letter, the third letter, and the numerical value.

1. Pattern for the First Letter:
The first letters of the given terms are A, C, E, ?, I.
Converting these letters to their numerical positions in the alphabet:
A = 1, C = 3, E = 5, I = 9
Each letter advances by 2 positions:

1+2=3 (C)

3+2=5 (E)

5+2=7 (G)

7+2=9 (I)

Thus, the first letter of the missing term is G.

2. Pattern for the Second Letter:
The second letters of the terms are X, Z, B, ?, F.
Converting these letters to their positions in the alphabet (wrapping around from Z to A):
X = 24, Z = 26, B = 2 (or 28th letter), F = 6
Each letter advances by 2 positions:

24+2=26 (Z)

26+2=282 (B)

2+2=4 (D)

4+2=6 (F)

Thus, the second letter of the missing term is D.

3. Pattern for the Third Letter:
The third letters of the terms are D, F, H, ?, L.
Converting these letters to their alphabetical positions:
D = 4, F = 6, H = 8, L = 12
Each letter advances by 2 positions:

4+2=6 (F)

6+2=8 (H)

8+2=10 (J)

10+2=12 (L)

Thus, the third letter of the missing term is J.

4. Pattern for the Number:
The numbers in the sequence are 6, 12, 18, ?, 30.
Each number increases by 6 in each step:

6+6=12

12+6=18

18+6=24

24+6=30

Thus, the numerical part of the missing term is 24.

Combining all components together gives the missing term: GDJ24.
