Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
MMNO, OKPM, ?, SGTI, UEVG
Option 1: POKI
Option 2: QRIL
Option 3: QIRK
Option 4: PQIJ
Correct Answer: QIRK
Solution :
Given:
MMNO, OKPM, ?, SGTI, UEVG
Add 2 to the first and the third letters and subtract 2 from the second and fourth letters of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
MMNO → M + 2 = O; M – 2 = K; N + 2 = P; O – 2 = M → OKPM
OKPM → O + 2 = Q; K – 2 = I; P + 2 = R; M – 2 = K → QIRK
QIRK → Q + 2 = S; I – 2 = G; R + 2 = T; K – 2 = I → SGTI
SGTI → S + 2 = U; G – 2 = E; T + 2 = V; I – 2 = G → UEVG
So, QIRK is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
