Correct Answer: NJO


Solution : Given:
HFK, KHM, ?, QLQ, TNS

In the given series, add 3, 2, and 2 to the place value of the first, second, and third letters of the previous term respectively to form the next term.
HFK→H + 3 = K; F + 2 = H; K + 2 = M→KHM
KHM→K + 3 = N; H + 2 = J; M + 2 = O→NJO
NJO→N + 3 = Q; J + 2 = L; O + 2 = Q→QLQ
QLQ→Q + 3 = T; L + 2 = N; Q + 2 = S→TNS

So, NJO is the required term of the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
