Choose the term which will continue the following series :
P 3 C, R 5 F, T 8 I, V 12 L, ?

A. Y 17 O

B. X 17 M

C. X 17 O

D. X 16 O

E. None of the above

Answer: C. X 17 O

Clearly, the first letters of the terms are alternate.
The sequence followed by the numbers is + 2, + 3, + 4, ... .
The last letter of each term is three steps ahead of the last letter of the preceding term.
Thus, the next term would be X 17 O.
Hence, the answer is (c).
