Correct Answer: XKC


Solution : Given:
PSU, GBL, ?, OTT, FCK

Subtract 9 from the positional value of the first and third letters and add 9 to the positional value of the second letter of the previous term, to obtain the next term in the series –
PSU→P – 9 = G; S + 9 = B; U – 9 = L→GBL
GBL→G – 9 = X; B + 9 = K; L – 9 = C→XBC
XKC→X – 9 = O; K + 9 = T; C – 9 = T→OTT
OTT→O – 9 = F; T + 9 = C; T – 9 = K→FCK

So, XKC is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
