Few of the letters are given followed by a question mark (?) these letters are following a specific pattern you have to give the correct option which can replace question mark. Complete the sequence: M, O, Q, S, ?
U
We must identify the rule linking the letters M, O, Q, S and extend it by one term.
Write the alphabetical positions: M = 13, O = 15, Q = 17, S = 19.
The positions increase by a constant step: 15 - 13 = 2, 17 - 15 = 2, 19 - 17 = 2.
So each term is the next-but-one letter, i.e. every alternate letter of the alphabet.
Continuing the pattern, the next position is 19 + 2 = 21.
The 21st letter of the alphabet is U.
Options V (20), W (23) and X (24) do not fit the +2 rule, so they are wrong.
Hence the missing term is U.
