Correct Answer: RVJ
Solution :
Given:
TYG, ?, PSM, NPP, LMS
Subtract 2 and 3 from the positional value of the first and the second letter and add 3 to the positional value of the third letter of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
TYG
→
T – 2 = R; Y – 3 = V; G + 3 = J
RVJ
→
R – 2 = P; V – 3 = S; J + 3 = M
PSM
→
P – 2 = N; S – 3 = P; M + 3 = P
NPP
→
N – 2 = L; P – 3 = M; P + 3 = S
So, RVJ is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
