Basic Letter Series Pattern – UGC NET Question

The letters in the series correspond to positions in the English alphabet with a constant skip of one letter in between. A is 1, C is 3, E is 5 and G is 7, so the sequence follows 1, 3, 5, 7. The next alphabet position should therefore be 9, which corresponds to the letter I. This consistent pattern of adding 2 to position numbers confirms I as the correct continuation.

Option A:
Option A, H, corresponds to position 8, which would result from adding 1 to G. That would break the established pattern of skipping one letter between terms. Therefore, H does not fit the rule observed in the given series.

Option B:
Option B, J, is position 10, which is two steps after I and would mean the series suddenly jumps by 3 from G’s position 7. There is no evidence of such a change in increment, so J is not appropriate.

Option C:
Option C, I, is position 9, obtained by adding 2 to 7, which aligns exactly with the pattern used to generate all previous letters. The series consistently increases by two positions each time, so I is the only choice that respects the underlying rule.

Option D:
Option D, K, corresponds to position 11, implying a jump of 4 from position 7, which is inconsistent with the fixed increment of 2. Choosing K would ignore the observed regularity of the series.
