SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 43

ELFA, GLHA, ILJA, ?, MLNA

examine the sequence letter by letter.

First letters:

E, G, I, ?, M.

E(5) → G(7) → I(9) → ? → M(13)

The pattern is +2 each time: 5 → 7 → 9 → 11 → 13.

The 11th letter is K.

So, the first letter of the missing term is K.

Second letters:

The second letters are: L, L, L, ?, L.

All are L, so the missing term's second letter is L.

Third letters:

The third letters are: F, H, J, ?, N.

F (6), H (8), J (10), ? , N (14).

The pattern is +2 each time: 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14.

The 12th letter is L.

So, the third letter is L.

Fourth letters:

The fourth letters are: A, A, A, ?, A.

All are A, so the missing term's fourth letter is A.

The missing term is KLLA.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
