Alphabet series – find the next two letters Sequence: T, R, P, N, L, ?, ?

Introduction / Context:
This reasoning problem asks you to extend an alphabet sequence by identifying the governing pattern. Such questions test recognition of uniform positional shifts on the A–Z scale and consistent application of that pattern to predict subsequent terms.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Series provided: T, R, P, N, L, ?, ?
• Letters are from the English alphabet and wrap is not needed because positions remain within A–Z.
• Exactly two next letters are required.

Concept / Approach:
The most direct approach is to convert each letter to its alphabet index (A=1, B=2, …, Z=26) and examine the step size between consecutive terms. If a constant positional decrement is found, continue it consistently to generate the missing letters.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• J, G: second letter would require −3, breaking the constant −2 shift.
• K, H or K, I: first jump would be −1 from L to K, not −2.
• L, J: repeats L and then applies −2 only once; does not give two successive steps.

Common Pitfalls:
Guessing without checking each gap numerically; overlooking that the decrement is uniform and not alternating.

Final Answer:
J, H
