SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q177

Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? 

DJUC, NEGG, ?, HUEO, RPQS

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. XZSK.

Given series: DJUC, NEGG, ?, HUEO, RPQS

The series follows this pattern:

DJUC, NEGG

D + 10 = N

J - 5 = E

U + 12 = G

C + 4 = G

Similarly;

NEGG,?

N + 10 = X

E - 5 = Z

G + 12 = S

G + 4 = K

So, the missing term in the series is XZSK.
