We are given a pattern: PM : N4J : R3P : ? We need to find the next term that fits the pattern. Let's break down the pattern in terms of position of letters and numbers: 1. PM P = 16th letter is a Cyrillic symbol that resembles the number 3, likely a stylized 3 M = 13th letter So we read it as: P3M 2. N4J N = 14 4 = number J = 10 3. R3P R = 18 3 = number P = 16 So far, we have this sequence: P3M N4J R3P ? Let's break down the structure: Each group = Letter + Number + Letter Let's extract each element: Group 1st Letter Number 3rd Letter P3M P (16) 3 M (13) N4J N (14) 4 J (10) R3P R (18) 3 P (16) Let's examine the changes: 1st Letters: P (16), N (14), R (18) 16 14 18 ? -2 +4 Maybe the pattern is alternating -2, +4, so next should be -2 18 - 2 = 16 = P Middle Numbers: 3, 4, 3 alternating? So likely next is 4 Last Letters: M (13), J (10), P (16) 13 10 16 -3 +6 next should be -3 16 - 3 = 13 = M So final pattern: P4M But this is not among the options. Let's try matching options to pattern: Q3N Q (17), 3, N (14) P3N P (16), 3, N (14) Q4N Q (17), 4, N (14) P4N P (16), 4, N (14) We concluded the most likely values are: First letter = P (16) Middle number = 4 Last letter = possibly N (14) (this fits with previous 3rd letters jumping -3/+6) So P4N fits the best with the alternating pattern. Correct Answer: P4N
