Let’s solve each pattern one by one.
---
1) F F G G F ___
Look at the sequence:
F, F, G, G, F, ?
It looks like pairs:
→ F F (pair of F)
→ G G (pair of G)
→ Then back to F — so next should be another F to complete the pair? But wait — after F F G G, it goes F again — maybe it’s repeating “F F G G” over and over?
Let’s check:
Positions:
1: F
2: F
3: G
4: G
5: F → starts new group?
6: ? → should be F to make “F F” again?
But that would mean the pattern is: F F G G | F F G G | ...
So after F (position 5), position 6 should be
F.
Wait — but let’s see if there’s another way. Maybe it’s alternating with increasing repetition? No, simpler: it’s groups of two identical letters, cycling through F and G.
So:
Group 1: F F
Group 2: G G
Group 3: F F ← we have first F, need second F
✔ So answer for #1 is
F

2) J J J K K ___
Sequence: J, J, J, K, K, ?
Looks like:
Three J’s → then two K’s → maybe next is one K? Or maybe it’s decreasing count?
J (×3), K (×2) → next might be K (×1)? That would make sense as a countdown: 3, 2, 1.
So after two K’s, next is
K
Check: J J J | K K | K → yes, that fits.
✔ Answer for #2 is
K

3) P P Q P P ___
Sequence: P, P, Q, P, P, ?
This looks like:
P P Q | P P ?
Maybe the pattern is “P P Q” repeated?
First group: P P Q
Second group: P P ? → should be Q to match
Yes! So after P P, it should be Q.
✔ Answer for #3 is
Q

4) C D E C D ___
Sequence: C, D, E, C, D, ?
This is clearly repeating: C D E | C D ?
After C D, next should be E to complete the cycle.
Like: ABCABC... but here CDE CDE...
✔ Answer for #4 is
E

5) M N M N M ___
Sequence: M, N, M, N, M, ?
Alternating: M N M N M → next should be N
Pattern: M N | M N | M N → so after M, it’s N
✔ Answer for #5 is
N

6) R S S R S ___
Sequence: R, S, S, R, S, ?
Let’s break it down:
Positions:
1: R
2: S
3: S
4: R
5: S
6: ?
Maybe it’s grouped as: R S S | R S ?
If the pattern is “R S S” repeating, then after R S, we need S to complete the group.
Check:
Group 1: R S S
Group 2: R S ? → should be S
Yes! So next is S.
Alternatively, think: after every R, there are two S’s?
R → S S
Then R → S ? → needs another S
✔ Answer for #6 is
S

Final Answers:
1) F
2) K
3) Q
4) E
5) N
6) S
Final Answer:
F, K, Q, E, N, S
