Correct Answer: PJU
Solution :
Given:
VPA, SMX, ?, MGR, JDO
Subtract 3 from each letter of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
VPA
→
V – 3 = S; P – 3 = M; A – 3 = X
SMX
→
S – 3 = P; M – 3 = J; X – 3 = U
PJU
→
P – 3 = M; J – 3 = G; U – 3 = R
MGR
→
M – 3 = J; G – 3 = D; R – 3 = O
So, PJU is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
