Back to paper

Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

YZ, BCD, FGHI, ?, QRSTUV

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. KLMNO.

Given series: YZ, BCD, FGHI, ?, QRSTUV

The series follows this pattern:

YZ, BCD ⇒ Z + 2 = B

First, the cluster has 2 letters, then 3, next 4, and so on.

FGHI, ? ⇒ I + 2 = K

FGHI has 4 letters, so the next letter cluster would have 5 letters.
