Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
ELSV, FJVR, GHYN, ?, IDEF
Option 1: HFJB
Option 2: HBJF
Option 3: HFBJ
Option 4: GHFJ
Correct Answer: HFBJ
Solution :
Given:
ELSV, FJVR, GHYN, ?, IDEF
Add 1 and 3 to the first and the third letters and subtract 2 and 4 from the second and fourth letters of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
ELSV→E + 1 = F; L – 2 = J; S + 3 = V; V – 4 = R
FJVR→F + 1 = G; J – 2 = H; V + 3 = Y; R – 4 = N
GHYN→G + 1 = H; H – 2 = F; Y + 3 = B; N – 4 = J
HFBJ→H + 1 = I; F – 2 = D; B + 3 = E; J – 4 = F
So, HFBJ is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
