Solution

The given series is B, C, E, G, K, ?

To find the next alphabet in the series, we need to understand the pattern of the series.

The series is based on the position of the alphabets in the English language.

B is the 2nd alphabet, C is the 3rd, E is the 5th, G is the 7th and K is the 11th.

If we look closely, we can see that the series is skipping the next prime number's position each time.

2 (B), 3 (C), skip 4, 5 (E), skip 6, 7 (G), skip 8, 9, 10, 11 (K)

The next prime number after 11 is 13. So, we skip 12 and the 13th alphabet is 'M'.

Therefore, the next alphabet in the series is 'M'.
