Find the next term in the alphanumeric series:
3B, 6C, 11E, 18H, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 27L
Each term has a number and a letter, and each part follows its own rule, so the two parts are continued separately.
Numbers 3, 6, 11, 18: they rise by 3, 5, 7, the odd numbers in turn, so the next rise is 9: \(18+9=27\)
Letters B (2), C (3), E (5), H (8): they move on 1, 2, 3 places, so the next move is 4 places: H (8) + 4 = L (12)
