Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

WPNK

Solution :

The correct option is WPNK.

Let's analyze the pattern by observing the position of each letter in the alphabetical series for the given letter-clusters:

1st letter of each cluster:
U (21)V (22)W (23)X (24)Y (25)
Pattern: Each letter increases by +1 position in the alphabet (21+1=22, 22+1=23 which is W).

2nd letter of each cluster:
T (20)R (18)P (16)N (14)L (12)
Pattern: Each letter decreases by 2 positions in the alphabet (20-2=18, 18-2=16 which is P).

3rd letter of each cluster:
H (8)K (11)N (14)Q (17)T (20)
Pattern: Each letter increases by 3 positions in the alphabet (8+3=11, 11+3=14 which is N).

4th letter of each cluster:
S (19)O (15)K (11)G (7)C (3)
Pattern: Each letter decreases by 4 positions in the alphabet (19-4=15, 15-4=11 which is K).

Combining all the letters together, the letter-cluster that replaces the question mark (?) is WPNK.
