PK - QL - RT

RM - SN - TV

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

LG - MH - NP

In PK-QL-RT: the first letters P, Q, R increase consecutively by one. The second letters K, L in the first two blocks also increase by one, but the third block's second letter T is 8 more than L: \(L + 8 = T\) (12 + 8 = 20).

The same rule appears in RM-SN-TV: first letters R, S, T increase by one, and second letters M, N increase by one, with the third block's second letter \(N + 8 = V\) (14 + 8 = 22).

Testing LG-MH-NP: first letters L, M, N increase consecutively by one. Second letters G, H increase by one, and \(H + 8 = P\) (8 + 8 = 16), which matches exactly.

Hence, the triad following the same pattern is LG - MH - NP.
