Options

A. 21O
B. 25N
C. 27P
D. 27Q

Answer

To find the missing letters/numbers in the sequence 3F, 6G, 11I, 18L, we will analyze both the numerical and alphabetical patterns step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze the Numerical Pattern
The numbers in the sequence are: 3, 6, 11, 18.

- To find the pattern, we can look at the differences between consecutive numbers:
- 6 - 3 = 3
- 11 - 6 = 5
- 18 - 11 = 7

- The differences are: 3, 5, 7. We can see that these are consecutive odd numbers.

### Step 2: Determine the Next Number
- The next odd number after 7 is 9.
- So, we add 9 to the last number in the sequence:
- 18 + 9 = 27

### Step 3: Analyze the Alphabetical Pattern
The letters in the sequence are: F, G, I, L.

- To find the pattern, we can look at the positions of the letters in the alphabet:
- F is the 6th letter
- G is the 7th letter (6 + 1)
- I is the 9th letter (7 + 2)
- L is the 12th letter (9 + 3)

- The increments are: +1, +2, +3.

### Step 4: Determine the Next Letter
- Following this pattern, the next increment should be +4.
- So, we add 4 to the position of L (which is 12):
- 12 + 4 = 16
- The 16th letter in the alphabet is P.

### Final Answer
Combining both parts, the missing term in the sequence is:
**27P**
