Solution :
Given:
YZN, HDI, QHD, ZLY, ?
In the above-given series, add 9 and 4 to the place values of the first and second letters, and subtract 5 from the place value of the third letter, to obtain the next term.
First letter
of the series→Y + 9 = H; H + 9 = Q; Q + 9 = Z; Z + 9 = I
Second letter
of the series→Z + 4 = D; D + 4 = H; H + 4 = L; L + 4 = P
Third letter
of the series→N – 5 = I; I – 5 = D; D – 5 = Y; Y – 5 = T
So, IPT is the missing term of the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
