Series Pattern Analysis

The question presents a letter series: BMM, DOO, ____, HSS, JUU. We need to find the missing letter cluster by identifying the pattern.

Identifying the Pattern

Let's analyze the pattern by considering the position of each letter in the alphabet and how it changes between consecutive terms.

  • First Letter Pattern: B (+2 letters) → D (+2 letters) → F (+2 letters) → H (+2 letters) → J. The first letter progresses by skipping one letter in the alphabet (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J).
  • Second and Third Letter Pattern: M (+2 letters) → O (+2 letters) → Q (+2 letters) → S (+2 letters) → U. The second and third letters also progress by skipping one letter (M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U).

Determining the Missing Cluster

Based on the identified patterns:

  • The first letter follows B, D, F, H, J.
  • The second and third letters follow M, O, Q, S, U.

Combining these, the missing cluster is FQQ.
