Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
MKPN, LMOP, ?, JQMT, ISLV
Option 1: KOLT
Option 2: KNNQ
Option 3: KNMR
Option 4: KONR
Correct Answer: KONR
Solution :
Given:
MKPN, LMOP, ?, JQMT, ISLV
Subtract 1 from the place value of the first and the third letters and add 2 to the place value of the second and fourth letters of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
MKPN→M – 1 = L; K + 2 = M; P – 1 = O; N + 2 = P
LMOP→L – 1 = K; M + 2 = O; O – 1 = N; P + 2 = R
KONR→K – 1 = J; O + 2 = Q; N – 1 = M; R + 2 = T
JQMT→J – 1 = I; Q + 2 = S; M – 1 = L; T + 2 = V
So, KONR is the missing term in the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
