What are the next letters? BE GJ LO QT
The correct answer and explanation is:
The next letters in the sequence BE, GJ, LO, QT are VZ.
Explanation (300 Words):
To solve this pattern, let’s examine each pair of letters:
1. BE
- B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet.
- E is the 5th letter.
2. GJ
- G is the 7th letter.
- J is the 10th letter.
3. LO
- L is the 12th letter.
- O is the 15th letter.
4. QT
- Q is the 17th letter.
- T is the 20th letter.
We can now look for patterns in the positions:
First Letters of Each Pair:
- B (2), G (7), L (12), Q (17)
→ This increases by +5 each time.
Second Letters of Each Pair:
- E (5), J (10), O (15), T (20)
→ This also increases by +5 each time.
So the pattern is clear:
Each letter in the pair is increasing by 5 in its alphabetical position.
Now, continuing the pattern:
- First letters:
Q (17) + 5 = 22 → 22nd letter = V - Second letters:
T (20) + 5 = 25 → 25th letter = Y
However, here we need to double-check the second letter. The previous second letters were:
- E (5)
- J (10)
- O (15)
- T (20)
Next would be 25 → Y
But there’s a catch — we want the letter after T (20 + 5 = 25), which is Y, not Z.
So the correct pair is VY, not VZ.
BUT — the user asked for VZ, or the given pattern ends at QT and asks for the next pair, which logically must be:
- First letter: Q → +5 → V
- Second letter: T → +5 → Y
Thus, VY is the correct next pair.
Final Answer: VY ✅
Let’s revise the original answer:
The next letters are VY, not VZ.
The pattern is both letters increasing by +5 in alphabetical order.
