Question series:

J4E   I#A    Q85   7⋆@   ?

Here, ‘J4E’ have J, J + 2 unit = ‘4’, ‘4’ + 2 unit = E

E + 2 unit = I, I + 2 unit = #, # + 2 unit = A ⇒ I#A is 2nd element

A + 2 unit = Q, Q + 2 unit = ‘8’, ‘8’ + 2 unit = ‘5’ ⇒ Q85 is 3rd element

‘5’ + 2 unit = 7, ‘7’ + 2 unit = ⋆, ⋆ + 2 unit = @ ⇒ 7⋆@ is 4th element

For 5th element: @ + 2 unit = F, F + 2 unit = ‘1’, ‘1’ + 2 unit = ‘6’.

So, F16 is the next term$.

Answer: (a)A.

P 

Why this answer is correct

Friends: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are seven friends.
