Correct Answer: HLE
Solution :
Given:
BPY, ENB, ?, KJH, NHK
Add 3 to the place value of the first and third letters and subtract 2 from the place value of the second letter to obtain the next term of the series.
BPY→B + 3 = E; P – 2 = N; Y + 3 = B→ENB
ENB→E + 3 = H; N – 2 = L; B + 3 = E→HLE
HLE→H + 3 = K; L – 2 = J; E + 3 = H→KJH
KJH→K + 3 = N; J – 2 = H; H + 3 = K→NHK
So, HLE is the missing term of the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
