Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters can replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete?
MIT, JEQ, GAN, DWK, ?
Option 1: ASH
Option 2: YRG
Option 3: ZRI
Option 4: YSJ
Correct Answer: ASH
Solution : Given:
MIT, JEQ, GAN, DWK, ?
In the above-given series, subtract 3 from the place value of the first and third letters and 4 from the place value of the second letter of the previous term to get the next term.
First letter of the series→M – 3 = J; J – 3 = G; G – 3 = D; D – 3 = A
Second letter of the series→I – 4 = E; E – 4 = A; A – 4 = W; W – 4 = S
Third letter of the series→T – 3 = Q; Q – 3 = N; N – 3 = K; K – 3 = H
So, ASH is the missing term of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
