What is the 95th term of the following letter series?
A, A, B, B, B, B,C, C,C, C,C, C, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, E, ...
CMAT Progressions and Series Questions
A - 2 terms
B - 4 terms
C - 6 terms
..
2 + 4 + 6 + ..... 2n terms => this sum should be greater than or equal to 95.
$$2\left(1+2+3+...+n\right)\ge\ 95$$
$$n\left(n+1\right)\ge\ 95$$
If n = 9, we get only 90 terms.
95th term occurs when n = 10, i.e. J.
The answer is option C.
