Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
PCXL, ?, TKPH, VOLF, XSHD
- ARHSJ
- BQGTK
- CQSTJ
- DRGTJ
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the consistent pattern for each position across the clusters:
First letter: P → ? → T → V → X
Here, T(+2)→V(+2)→X.
Following this, P(+2)→R.
Second letter: C → ? → K → O → S
Here, K(+4)→O(+4)→S.
Following this, C(+4)→G.
Third letter: X → ? → P → L → H
Here, P(−4)→L(−4)→H.
Following this, X(−4)→T.
Fourth letter: L → ? → H → F → D
Here, H(−2)→F(−2)→D.
Following this, L(−2)→J.
Combining the letters, we get RGTJ.
