Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
"RLYV, PJWT, NHUR, ?, JDQN"
LFSP
To solve this sequence problem, we need to identify the pattern followed by the series "RLYV, PJWT, NHUR, ?, JDQN". Let's analyze the series letter by letter to find the rule.
- Observe the first letters of each term in the series:
- First term: R
- Second term: P
- Third term: N
The alphabetical positions of these letters are 18, 16, and 14, respectively. This series decreases by 2 each time.
Thus, after N (14), the next in the sequence should be L (12).
- Observe the second letters of each term in the series:
- First term: L
- Second term: J
- Third term: H
The alphabetical positions of these letters are 12, 10, and 8, respectively. This series decreases by 2 each time as well.
Thus, after H (8), the next in the sequence should be F (6).
- Observe the third letters of each term in the sequence:
- First term: Y
- Second term: W
- Third term: U
The alphabetical positions of these letters are 25, 23, and 21, respectively. This series decreases by 2 each time also.
Thus, after U (21), the next in the sequence should be S (19).
- Observe the fourth letters of each term in the sequence:
- First term: V
- Second term: T
- Third term: R
The alphabetical positions of these letters are 22, 20, and 18, respectively. This series decreases by 2 each time.
Thus, after R (18), the next in the sequence should be P (16).
Combining all the calculated letters, the term that should replace the question mark is "LFSP". Thus, the correct answer is:
Option: LFSP
