Prime-Consonant Series
Prime-Consonant series alternate between prime numbers and consonant letters. Primes follow the sequence of prime numbers (2,3,5,7,11,13,17...). Consonants are letters that are not vowels (A,E,I,O,U). These problems test your knowledge of prime numbers and consonant identification.

Prerequisites
How to Solve Prime-Consonant Series Problems
Step 1: Identify whether the series starts with a prime number or a consonant
Step 2: For prime numbers, list the sequence of primes in order
Step 3: For consonants, list consonants in alphabetical order (skipping vowels)
Step 4: Determine which type (prime or consonant) the next term will be
Step 5: Find the next prime number or the next consonant in order
Step 6: Present the next term
Step 7: Verify the pattern holds for all given terms
Example Problem
Example: Find the next term: 2, B, 3, C, 5, D, 7, F, 11, G, ___ Solution: Step 1: Pattern: prime, consonant, prime, consonant... Step 2: Primes: 2,3,5,7,11,13... Step 3: Consonants: B(2), C(3), D(4), F(6), G(7), H(8)... (skip A,E,I,O,U) Step 4: Next is 11th term (odd) → prime Step 5: Next prime after 11 = 13 Answer: 13
