Correct Answer: FQI


Solution : Given:
BYM, CWL, DUK, ESJ, ?

Add 1 to the place value of the first, and subtract 2 and 1 in the second and third letters respectively to obtain the next term of the given series.
BYM→B + 1 = C; Y – 2 = W; M – 1 = L→CWL
CWL→C + 1 = D; W – 2 = U; L – 1 = K→DUK
DUK→D + 1 = E; U – 2 = S; K – 1 = J→ESJ
ESJ→E + 1 = F; S – 2 = Q; J – 1 = I→FQI

So, the required missing term of the series is FQI. Hence, the first option is correct.
