SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q188

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

GSAV, JPER, ?, PJMJ, SGQF

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. MMIN

The logic used here is:

GSAV, JPER, ?, PJMJ, SGQF

Consider the first letters of every pair:

G + 3 = J, J + 3 = M, M + 3 = P, P + 3 = S

Similarly, consider the second letters:

S - 3 = P, P - 3 = M, M - 3 = J, J - 3 = G

Similarly, consider the third letters:

A + 4 = E, E + 4 = I, I + 4 = M, M + 4 = Q

Finally, Consider the fourth letters:

V - 4 = R, R - 4 = N, N - 4 = J, J - 4= F

Hence, MMIN is the correct answer.
