What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order? FOL ZIF TCZ NWT ?
HQN
Assign each letter its alphabetical position: FOL = F(6), O(15), L(12); ZIF = Z(26), I(9), F(6); TCZ = T(20), C(3), Z(26); NWT = N(14), W(23), T(20).
Comparing each position across consecutive groups shows every letter decreases by 6 places, wrapping from A to Z when it goes below 1: F(6) to Z(26) is a decrease of 6 with wraparound, Z(26) to T(20) is a decrease of 6, T(20) to N(14) is a decrease of 6.
The same drop of 6 applies to the second and third letters: O(15) to I(9) to C(3) to W(23, wrapping), and L(12) to F(6) to Z(26, wrapping) to T(20).
Applying the same rule to NWT: N(14) − 6 = H(8), W(23) − 6 = Q(17), T(20) − 6 = N(14).
Hence, the next term is HQN.
