Question: 1 / 400

What would be the next group of letters in the following series? bd ... eg ... hj ... km ... ?

To identify the next group of letters in the sequence, it is essential to observe the pattern established in the series: bd, eg, hj, km.

Looking closely at the groups, each consists of two letters, and a clear pattern emerges.

1. The first letters of each pair:

- 'b' to 'e' corresponds to an increase of 3 letters in the alphabet (b, c, d, e).

- 'e' to 'h' follows the same pattern (e, f, g, h).

- 'h' to 'k' also increases by 3 (h, i, j, k).

So, the next first letter should be 'k' increased by 3, which leads us to 'n'.

2. The second letters of each pair:

- 'd' to 'g' also increases by 3 letters (d, e, f, g).

- 'g' to 'j' reflects the same increment (g, h, i, j).

- 'j' to 'm' continues this pattern (j, k, l, m).

Following this pattern, the next second letter should be 'm' increased by 3, which brings us to '
