The correct answer is

PHN

To solve this series problem in Logical Reasoning, we need to determine the pattern or rule governing the sequences. Let's examine the series: JKT, LJR, NIP, and try to find what comes next.

  1. Analyze the first letter of each term:

    • J (10th letter of the alphabet) becomes L (12th letter): Step is +2
    • L (12th letter) becomes N (14th letter): Step is again +2
    • Following the pattern, N (14) should become P (16th letter): Step +2
  2. Analyze the second letter of each term:

    • K (11th letter) becomes J (10th letter): Step is -1
    • J (10th letter) becomes I (9th letter): Step is again -1
    • Following the pattern, I (9) should become H (8th letter): Step -1
  3. Analyze the third letter of each term:

    • T (20th letter) becomes R (18th letter): Step is -2
    • R (18th letter) becomes P (16th letter): Step is again -2
    • Following the pattern, P (16) should become N (14th letter): Step -2
  4. Based on the above analyses, the next term in the series should be PHN.

Therefore, the correct answer is PHN.
