Correct Answer: MDT
Solution :
Given:
SLZ, PHW, ?, JZQ, GVN
In the above-given letter clusters, subtract 3 from the place value of the first and third letters and subtract 4 from the place value of the second letter to get the next term of the series.
SLZ→S – 3 = P; L – 4 = H; Z – 3 = W→PHW
PHW→P – 3 = M; H – 4 = D; W – 3 = T→MDT
MDT→M – 3 = J; D – 4 = Z; T – 3 = Q→JZQ
JZQ→J – 3 = G; Z – 4 = V; Q – 3 = N→GVN
So, the missing term is MDT. Hence, the first option is correct.
