Correct Answer: LNM


Solution : Given:
XZY, UWV, RTS, OQP, ?

In the above-given series, subtract 3 from the place value of each letter of the letter cluster to obtain the next letter cluster.
XZY ⇒ X – 3 = U; Z – 3 = W; Y – 3 = V→UWV
UWV ⇒ U – 3 = R; W – 3 = T; V – 3 = S→RTS
RTS ⇒ R – 3 = O; T – 3 = Q; S – 3 = P→OQP

OQP ⇒ O – 3 = L; Q – 3 = N; P – 3 = M→LNM 

So, LNM is the next term of the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
