Correct Answer :

Option C

QMS

Solution :

The correct option is QMS.

To find the missing term in the series WYS, BDX, GIC, LNH, ?, let us analyze the pattern followed by each letter position across the terms using their positions in the English alphabet:

1. First Letter of each term:
W (23) + 5 = B (2, wrapping around the alphabet: 23 + 5 = 28 ≡ 2)
B (2) + 5 = G (7)
G (7) + 5 = L (12)
L (12) + 5 = Q (17)

2. Second Letter of each term:
Y (25) + 5 = D (4, wrapping around: 25 + 5 = 30 ≡ 4)
D (4) + 5 = I (9)
I (9) + 5 = N (14)
N (14) + 5 = M (19)

3. Third Letter of each term:
S (19) + 5 = X (24)
X (24) + 5 = C (3, wrapping around: 24 + 5 = 29 ≡ 3)
C (3) + 5 = H (8)
H (8) + 5 = S (13)

Combining the resulting letters gives QMS.
