Correct Answer: PU
Solution :
Given:
KI, EK, ZM, VO, SQ, QS, ?
Subtract consecutive natural numbers in decreasing order starting from 6 in the first letter, and add 2 in the second letter, to get the required missing term –
KI→K – 6 = E; I + 2 = K→EK
EK→E – 5 = Z; K + 2 = M→ZM
ZM→Z – 4 = V; M + 2 = O→VO
VO→V – 3 = S; O + 2 = Q→SQ
SQ→S – 2 = Q; Q + 2 = S→QS
QS→Q – 1 = P; S + 2 = U→PU
So, PU is the required missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
