In the given alphanumeric sequence, which term logically comes next to complete the series: $A2, D4, G8, J16, \dots$ ?

$M32$ Answer
B
$L32$
C
$M30$
D
$N32$

Answer

M32

The correct answer combines the letter 'M' (obtained by adding 3 forward steps from 'J' in the English alphabet) and the number 32 (obtained by multiplying 16 by 2).

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the letter progression pattern

The letters follow a pattern of adding 3 positions:

A (1) + 3 = D (4)

D (4) + 3 = G (7)

G (7) + 3 = J (10)

, and

J (10) + 3 = M (13)

Identify the rule governing the alphabetical component of the sequence.

Analyze the number progression pattern

The numbers follow a pattern of doubling:

2 \times 2 = 4

4 \times 2 = 8

8 \times 2 = 16

, and

16 \times 2 = 32

Identify the rule governing the numerical component of the sequence.

Combine the letter and number terms to find the next element

Combining the 13th letter (

M

) and the calculated number (

32

) gives

M32

Formulate the final term of the series.
