7G - G is the 7th alphabet
11K - K is the 11th alphabet
13M - M is the 13th alphabet

15th alphabet is O
17th alphabet is Q
Therefore A,C,D eliminated
Also, 7,11,13 are prime numbers, next prime in the sequence would be 17

one good way to solve these questions is write down the letters and number them .It will hardly take 1.5 min in the exam A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 now the question says 7G 11K 13M ..notice the pattern here ..the letters have their corresponding numbers so the next term is 17Q.. SO answer is B

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.
