1 votes 1 votes In the given series the numbers are the prime numbers;$7,11,13,17..$ $7\xrightarrow{+4}11\xrightarrow{+2}13\xrightarrow{+4}17$ in the same way $G\xrightarrow{+4}K\xrightarrow{+2}M\xrightarrow{+4}Q$ So the next term is $17Q$. Option $(B)$ is correct. Hira Thakur answered Nov 29, 2023 Hira Thakur comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
