Correct Answer: NM
Solution :
Given:
DW, FU, HS, JQ, LO, ?
Add 2 to the positional value of the first letter of the previous term and write the opposite letter of the resultant letter for the second letter of the next term in the series –
DW
→
D + 2 = F; F and U are opposite letters; FU
FU
→
F + 2 = H; H and S are opposite letters; HS
HS
→
H + 2 = J; J and K are opposite letters; JQ
JK
→
J + 2 = L; L and O are opposite letters; LO
LO
→
L + 2 = N; N and M are opposite letters; NM
So, NM is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
