  • (A) and (B) respectively
  • (B) and (A) respectively
  • (C) and (D) respectively
  • (D) and (C) respectively
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Series Analysis 
The series is \( A, C, F, J, ? \). Analyzing the alphabetical positions: \( A(1), C(3), F(6), J(10) \). The increments between positions are \( +2, +3, +4 \). Following this pattern, the next increments will be \( +5 \) and \( +6 \). Thus, the next term is \( J + 5 = O \), and the subsequent term is \( O + 6 = U \). 
 

Step 2: Result 
The subsequent two terms are \( O \) and \( U \). This corresponds to option 2 (B) and option 1 (A) respectively.
