Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
FKSN, HMQL, JOOJ, ?, NSKF
- AMRNG
- BLQMH
- CMRNH
- DLQNG
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the pattern for each position in the letter-clusters:
First letter: F → H → J → ? → N
F(+2)→H
H(+2)→J
J(+2)→L
L(+2)→N
Second letter: K → M → O → ? → S
K(+2)→M
M(+2)→O
O(+2)→Q
Q(+2)→S
Third letter: S → Q → O → ? → K
S(−2)→Q
Q(−2)→O
O(−2)→M
M(−2)→K
Fourth letter: N → L → J → ? → F
N(−2)→L
L(−2)→J
J(−2)→H
H(−2)→F
Combining the letters, we get LQMH.
