A series is given with one wrong term. Select the wrong term from the given series.
DMR, FOT, CLQ, GPV, BKP
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given series: DMR, FOT, CLQ, GPV, BKP
Check the pattern between terms
From DMR to FOT:
First letter: 4 → 6 (+2)
Second letter: 13 → 15 (+2)
Third letter: 18 → 20 (+2)
From FOT to CLQ:
First letter: 6 → 3 (-3)
Second letter: 15 → 12 (-3)
Third letter: 20 → 17 (-3)
From CLQ to GPV:
First letter: 3 → 7 (+4)
Second letter: 12 → 16 (+4)
Third letter: 17 → 22 (+5) ← This breaks the pattern (should be +4 to get 21 = U, not 22 = V)
Wrong term is GPV.
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
