Correct answer: A
To find the missing term in the series FM61, EK58, DI55, CG52, ?, we need to break down the pattern into three parts: the first letter, the second letter, and the number.
Pattern Analysis
First Letter: F → E → D → C → ?
The letters are decreasing by 1 position in the alphabet.
The next letter after C is B.
Second Letter: M → K → I → G → ?
The letters are decreasing by 2 positions (skipping one letter).
M (13) → K (11) → I (9) → G (7).
The next letter (7 - 2 = 5) is E.
Numbers: 61 → 58 → 55 → 52 → ?
The numbers are decreasing by 3.
52 - 3 = 49.
Combining these, the next term is BE49.
