Correct Answer: L25O
Solution :
Given:
C4X, F9U, I16R, ?
Here, we have two types of series –
1. CX, FU, IR, ?
2. 4, 9, 16, ?
Add 3 in the place value of the first letter and subtract 3 from the place value of the second letter to get the required missing term –
CX→C + 3 = F; X – 3 = U→FU
FU→F + 3 = I; U – 3 = R→IR
IR→I + 3 = L; R – 3 = O→LO
Determine the square of a consecutive natural number to get the required missing term –
2
2
= 4; 3
2
= 9; 4
2
= 16; 5
2
= 25
So, the series becomes C4X, F9U, I16R, L25O. Thus, the second option is correct.
