SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q165

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

PORK, NQPM, LSNO, JULQ, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. HWJS

Given series: PORK, NQPM, LSNO, JULQ, ?

The series follows this pattern:

PORK, NQPM

P - 2 = N

O + 2 = Q

R - 2 = P

K + 2 = M

Similarly;

JULQ, ?

J - 2 = H

U + 2 = W

L - 2 = J

Q + 2 = S

So, the next term in the series is HWJS.

Hence, HWJS is the correct answer.
