Correct Answer: TOJQ
Solution :
Given:
VSNY, UQLU, ?, SMHM, RKFI
Subtract 1, 2, 2, and 4 from the place value of the first, second, third, and fourth letters respectively of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
VSNY→V – 1 = U; S – 2 = Q; N – 2 = L; Y – 4 = U→UQLU
UQLU→U – 1 = T; Q – 2 = O; L – 2 = J; U – 4 = Q→TOJQ
TOJQ→T – 1 = S; O – 2 = M; J – 2 = H; Q – 4 = M→SMHM
SMHM→S – 1 = R; M – 2 = K; H – 2 = F; M – 4 = I→RKFI
So, TOJQ is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
