Find the next term:
J1, K2, L3, M4, ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: N5
Two things advance together: the letters move on one place each time - J, K, L, M, then N - and the numbers count up 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5. So the next term is N5.

Fill in the blank:
A, C, F, J, O, ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: U
The gaps between the letters grow by one each time: A \( \xrightarrow{+2} \) C \( \xrightarrow{+3} \) F \( \xrightarrow{+4} \) J \( \xrightarrow{+5} \) O. The next gap is 6, and six letters on from O (the 15th letter) is the 21st - U.

Next term:
Q1, R2, S4, T8, ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: U16
The letters advance one place at a time - Q, R, S, T, then U - while the numbers double: 1, 2, 4, 8, then 16. So the next term is U16.

Choose next:
1A, 2B, 4D, 8G, ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: 16k
The numbers double each time - 1, 2, 4, 8, then 16 - while the letters move on by one more place each time: A \( \xrightarrow{+1} \) B \( \xrightarrow{+2} \) D \( \xrightarrow{+3} \) G, so the next step is \( +4 \), taking G (the 7th letter) to the 11th, K. The term is 16K.

Next term:
C, F, I, L, ?
Answer: D

Each letter is three places on from the last: C \( \to \) F \( \to \) I \( \to \) L. Three more from L (the 12th letter) is the 15th - O.

M, N, O, L, P, K, Q, ?
Answer: A
Correct answer: J
After the opening M, N, O the series swings alternately below and above: L, then P, then K, then Q - each step moving one further from the middle. The next swing downwards takes us one below K, to J.

Correct answer: Pq2
The letters PQ stay where they are and only the number changes, counting down 5, 4, 3. The next term is therefore PQ2.
