Complete the letter–mirror pattern BCB, DED, FGF, HIH, ___ by recognizing that each of the three positions advances by +2 letters, retaining the palindromic structure.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: JKJ

Explanation:

Palindromic triplets with uniform +2 steps across positions.

  • First letters: B → D → F → H → J (+2).
  • Middle letters: C → E → G → I → K (+2).
  • Last letters mirror the first: B → D → F → H → J.

Concept/Approach
Identify symmetry (1st = 3rd) and apply a consistent +2 stride.
Step-by-Step calculation
Compute next letters: (H+2, I+2, H+2) = (J, K, J) ⇒ JKJ.
Verification/Alternative
Alphabet indices: B(2),D(4),F(6),H(8),J(10); C(3),E(5),G(7),I(9),K(11).
Common pitfalls
Breaking the palindrome or using a +1 step at any position.
Final Answer
JKJ
