Question : Directions: Select the letter cluster that can replace the question mark (?) in the given letter cluster series.
POUR, MLRO, IHNK, DCIF, ?
Option 1: YWCA
Option 2: XWCZ
Option 3: XWBY
Option 4: XVBZ
Correct Answer: XWCZ
Solution :
Given:
POUR, MLRO, IHNK, DCIF, ?
Subtract consecutive numbers from each letter cluster to obtain the next term in the series.
POUR→P – 3 = M; O – 3 = L; U – 3 = R; R – 3 = O→MLRO
MLRO→M – 4 = I; L – 4 = H; R – 4 = N; O – 4 = K→IHNK
IHNK→I – 5 = D; H – 5 = C; N – 5 = I; K – 5 = F→DCIF
DCIF→D – 6 = X; C – 6 = W; I – 6 = C; F – 6 = Z→XWCZ
So, the required missing term in the series is XWCZ. Hence, the second option is correct.
