Looking at the series: A-01, D-04, G-09, J-16, M-25, ?
The letters follow a pattern based on their position in the alphabet:
A is the 1st letter
D is the 4th letter
G is the 7th letter
J is the 10th letter
M is the 13th letter
The positions are: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...
Each position increases by 3.
The next position: 13+3=16
The 16th letter of the alphabet is P.
The numbers in the series are: 01, 04, 09, 16, 25, ...
These are perfect squares:
12=1
22=4
32=9
42=16
52=25
The next term: 62=36
Therefore, the next term in the series is P-36.
The answer is Option 3.
