Last Updated On: Sat Aug 29 2026Given Series
- Given letter sequence: A, C, F, J, O, ?
Question
What is the missing letter in the sequence?
Answer
U.
Solution
- Convert letters to numerical ranks:
- A = 1
- C = 3 (+2)
- F = 6 (+3)
- J = 10 (+4)
- O = 15 (+5)
- The positional step increases by +1 at each stage (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6).
- Next position = 15 + 6 = 21.
- The 21st letter of the alphabet is U.
