Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Given:
EFGHI, LMNO, RST, WX, ?
Each term of the series contains consecutive letters in alphabetical order and the number of letters in each term of the series decreases by 1.
EFGHI→5, LMNO→4, RST→3, WX→2; The next term will contain only one letter.
Add 3 to the positional value of the last letter of the previous term to get the first letter of the next term.
I + 3 = L; O + 3 = R; T + 3 = W; X + 3 = A
So, A is the missing term of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
