Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
EDIC, FGJF, ?, HMLL, IPMO
Option 1: GIKI
Option 2: GJKJ
Option 3: GJLI
Option 4: GJKI
Correct Answer: GJKI
Solution :
Given:
EDIC, FGJF, ?, HMLL, IPMO
Add 1 to the positional values of the first and third letters and 3 to the positional values of the second and fourth letters of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
EDIC
→
E + 1 = F; D + 3 = G; I + 1 = J; C + 3 = F
FGJF
→
F + 1 = G; G + 3 = J; J + 1 = K; F + 3 = I
GJKI
→
G + 1 = H; J + 3 = M; K + 1 = L; I + 3 = L
HMLL
→
H + 1 = I; M + 3 = P; L + 1 = M; L + 3 = O
So, GJKI is the missing term in the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
