Correct Answer: SC 18


Solution : Given:
WG 12, UE 15, ?, QA 21, OY 24

For letter-based series –
Subtract 2 from the positional value of the first letter and the second letter of the previous term of the given series.
WG→W – 2 = U; G – 2 = E→UE
UE→U – 2 = S; E – 2 = C→SC
SC→S – 2 = Q; C – 2 = A→QA
QA→Q – 2 = O; A – 2 = Y→SC
For number-based series –
Add 3 to the previous numeric term of the given series.
12 + 3 = 15; 15 + 3 = 18; 18 + 3 = 21; 21 + 3 = 24

So, SC 18 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
