@Biju.

Because they all are multiples of 2, here, in this series, only 4 is missing.

So it will be E4.

Seeing the pattern here does not require you looking at the letters just the numbers will do. 2,_, 8, 16, 32. The answer would be 4 because all of these numbers are multiples of 2. 8x2= 16, 16x2= 32 so, 2x2= 4.


Looking at the pattern with the numbers is way easier the other letters might throw you off. I will explain the lettering, each letter decreases by 1, F, _, D, C, B. They are all going down one. A, B, C, D, E, F!

E is before the F and after D, so the final answer would be E4.

B, C, D, E, F.
F, E, D, C, B.
F2, E4, D8, C16, B32.

2*2 = 4,
2*4 = 8,
2*8 = 16,
2*16 = 32.

Letters are decreasing by one place, at the same time the numbers are increasing by multiplication of 2 to previous number.
