Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? HDLB, LBPZ, PZTX, ?, XVBT
TXXV
To solve the given series problem, we need to analyze the pattern of letters in the series: HDLB, LBPZ, PZTX, ?, XVBT.
- The series is made up of four-letter terms. Each position in the term seems to follow a consistent shift in alphabetical order.
- Analyze each letter position-wise from HDLB to LBPZ:
- First position: H to L is a shift of +4 positions (H, I, J, K, L).
- Second position: D to B is a shift of -2 positions (D, C, B).
- Third position: L to P is a shift of +4 positions (L, M, N, O, P).
- Fourth position: B to Z is a shift of +24 positions (B, ..., Z) - effectively wrapping around the alphabet.
- Apply the same pattern from LBPZ to PZTX:
- First position: L to P is a shift of +4.
- Second position: B to Z is a shift of -2 (accounting for wrap-around in the alphabet).
- Third position: P to T is a shift of +4.
- Fourth position: Z to X is a shift of +24, wrapping around the alphabet.
- Now find the next term with the same transformation pattern:
- First position: P (16th letter) + 4 = T (20th letter).
- Second position: Z (26th letter) - 2 = X (24th letter).
- Third position: T (20th letter) + 4 = X (24th letter).
- Fourth position: X (24th letter) + 24 (wrap-around) = V (22nd letter).
- Combine these computations to form the next term: TXXV.
Thus, the term that correctly completes the series is TXXV.
Conclusion: The correct answer is TXXV, which matches the provided solution.
