Back to paper

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

DYKM, GZIN, JAGO, MBEP,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e PCCQ.

Understanding

Given series: DYKM, GZIN, JAGO, MBEP,?

The logic used here is:

(D + 3) = G

(Y + 1) = Z

(K - 2) = I

(M + 1) = N

Similarly,

The next term after MBEP is;

(M + 3) = P

(B + 1) = C

(E - 2) = C

(P + 1) = Q

The next term in the series is PCCQ.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
