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

KQG, JTK, HXO, ECS, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. AIW

Understanding

Given series: KQG, JTK, HXO, ECS, ?

KQG, JTK, HXO, ECS,?

(K -1) (Q + 3) (G + 4) = JTK

(J - 2) (T + 4) (K + 4) = HXO

(H - 3) (X + 5) (O + 4) = ECS

(E - 4) (C + 6) (S + 4) = AIW

AIW is the next term in the series.

Hence the correct answer is AIW.
