Understanding the Pattern
To solve the analogy presented, we need to identify the relationship between the letters and the numbers.
Letter Sequence Analysis
- The first sequence of letters is: A, C, E, G
- These letters are in alphabetical order and skip one letter each time:
- A (1), C (3), E (5), G (7)
Number Sequence Analysis
- The corresponding numbers for these letters are: 1, 3, 5, 7
- These numbers are also in a sequence, increasing by 2:
- 1, 3, 5, 7
Identifying the Next Set
- Now, we analyze the second set of letters: B, D, F, H
- Following the same pattern:
- B (2), D (4), F (6), H (8)
- Notice that each letter corresponds to an even number, just like the first set corresponds to odd numbers.
Conclusion
- If B corresponds to 2, D to 4, F to 6, and H to 8, the next number in the sequence (following the pattern of adding 2) would be:
- 2, 4, 6, 8
Thus, the correct answer is option 'B', which completes the pattern of even numbers corresponding to the letters in the second series.
