A 729, G 343, _______, S 27

AN 225

BM 225

CM 125

DN 125

Answer:

C. M 125

Read Explanation:

The missing term that completes the pattern is M 125.

The series consists of two independent patterns combined together: one for the alphabetic letters and one for the numbers.

1. The Letter Pattern

Look at the positions of the letters in the English alphabet:

  • A = 1st letter

  • G = 7th letter (Increases by +6)

  • ? = Should be the 13th letter (7 + 6 = 13), which is M

  • S = 19th letter (13 + 6 = 19)

The letters increase sequentially by adding 6 positions each time, identifying the missing letter as M.

2. The Number Pattern

The numbers represent the cubes of decreasing odd numbers:

  • 729=93729 = 9^3

  • 343=73343 = 7^3

  • ? = Should be 53=5^3 = 125

  • 27=3327 = 3^3

The sequence uses the cubes of 9,7,5,39, 7, 5, 3. Therefore, the missing value is 53=1255^3 = 125.

Combining both parts gives the final answer: M 125.
