H K N

Solution :

The correct option is H K N.


To solve this letter series, let us analyze the pattern followed by the letters in each group step-by-step.


First, let us write down the numerical positions of each letter in the English alphabet:

B = 2 , E = 5 , H = 8

D = 4 , G = 7 , J = 10

F = 6 , I = 9 , L = 12


Now, let us examine the pattern across the groups position by position:

1. First letter of each term:
B (2) ⇒ D (4) ⇒ F (6)
Notice that 2 is added to each step (2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 2 = 6).
The next first letter will be position 6 + 2 = 8, which corresponds to H.

2. Second letter of each term:
E (5) ⇒ G (7) ⇒ I (9)
Notice that 2 is added to each step (5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 2 = 9).
The next second letter will be position 9 + 2 = 11, which corresponds to K.

3. Third letter of each term:
H (8) ⇒ J (10) ⇒ L (12)
Notice that 2 is added to each step (8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12).
The next third letter will be position 12 + 2 = 14, which corresponds to N.


Combining all three letters together gives H K N.
