Solution :
Given:
FIY, HLD, JOI, LRN, NUS,?
Add 2, 3, and 5 in the positional value of the first, second, and third letter of the series, to get the required missing term –
FIY→F + 2 = H; I + 3 = L; Y + 5 = D→HLD
HLD→H + 2 = J; L + 3 = O; D + 5 = I→JOI
JOI→J + 2 = L; O + 3 = R; I + 5 = N→LRN
LRN→L + 2 = N; R + 3 = U; N + 5 = S→NUS
NUS→N + 2 = P; U + 3 = X; S + 5 = X→PXX
Therefore, the required missing term in the series is PXX. Hence, the first option is correct.
