Alphabet stepping pattern across three positions: continue JAK, KBL, LCM, MDN, ____ by noting +1 shifts in all three letter positions to produce the next code.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: NEO

Explanation:

Every position advances by +1 letter from term to term.

  • First letters: J → K → L → M → N (+1 each).
  • Second letters: A → B → C → D → E (+1 each).
  • Third letters: K → L → M → N → O (+1 each).

Concept/Approach
Treat it as three parallel arithmetic progressions on letters with unit step.
Step-by-Step calculation
Next term = (M+1, D+1, N+1) = (N, E, O) ⇒ NEO.
Verification/Alternative
Check adjacency: NEO precedes nothing given, but backward check confirms MDN → NEO is +1 in all positions.
Common pitfalls
Altering only one position or skipping letters due to misalignment.
Final Answer
NEO
