Question : Directions: Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
XLO, VOM, TRK, RUI, ?
Option 1: PXH
Option 2: SXH
Option 3: PXG
Option 4: QXG
Correct Answer: PXG
Solution :
Given:
XLO, VOM, TRK, RUI, ?
To determine the next letter cluster in the series, subtract 2 from the place values of the first and the third letters and add 3 to the place value of the second letter.
XLO→X – 2 = V, L + 3 = O, O – 2 = M→VOM
VOM→V – 2 = T, O + 3 = R, M – 2 = K→TRK
TRK→T – 2 = R, R + 3 = U, K – 2 = I→RUI
RUI→R – 2 = P, U + 3 = X, I – 2 = G→PXG
So, PXG is the missing term of the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
