What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following series?
AYBZC, DWEXF, GUHVI, JSKTL, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → MQNRO
Take the five positions one by one. The 1st letters run A, D, G, J → M (+3 each time) and the 3rd letters B, E, H, K → N, also +3. The 5th letters C, F, I, L → O in the same way.
The 2nd letters run backwards, Y, W, U, S → Q, and the 4th letters Z, X, V, T → R. Putting them together gives MQNRO.
