Options

A. CGK
B. KOS
C. NRV
D. OVZ

Answer

To find the next term in the letter series DHL, PTX, BFJ, we will analyze the pattern in the series step by step.

### Step 1: Break down the terms into individual letters
The series consists of three-letter terms:
1. DHL
2. PTX
3. BFJ

### Step 2: Analyze the first letters of each term
- D (4th letter of the alphabet)
- P (16th letter of the alphabet)
- B (2nd letter of the alphabet)

Now, let's look at the positions of these letters:
- D = 4
- P = 16
- B = 2

### Step 3: Identify the pattern in the first letters
The first letters appear to follow a pattern:
- From D (4) to P (16), the difference is +12.
- From P (16) to B (2), the difference is -14.

This suggests a pattern of alternating increases and decreases.

### Step 4: Analyze the second letters of each term
- H (8th letter of the alphabet)
- T (20th letter of the alphabet)
- F (6th letter of the alphabet)

Now, let's look at the positions of these letters:
- H = 8
- T = 20
- F = 6

### Step 5: Identify the pattern in the second letters
The second letters also follow a pattern:
- From H (8) to T (20), the difference is +12.
- From T (20) to F (6), the difference is -14.

This suggests a similar alternating pattern.

### Step 6: Analyze the third letters of each term
- L (12th letter of the alphabet)
- X (24th letter of the alphabet)
- J (10th letter of the alphabet)

Now, let's look at the positions of these letters:
- L = 12
- X = 24
- J = 10

### Step 7: Identify the pattern in the third letters
The third letters also follow a pattern:
- From L (12) to X (24), the difference is +12.
- From X (24) to J (10), the difference is -14.

### Step 8: Predict the next letters
Following the identified patterns:
1. For the first letter:
- After B (2), we add +12: 2 + 12 = 14, which corresponds to N.

2. For the second letter:
- After F (6), we add +12: 6 + 12 = 18, which corresponds to R.

3. For the third letter:
- After J (10), we add +12: 10 + 12 = 22, which corresponds to V.

### Conclusion
The next term in the series is **NRV**.
