Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
WTNM, SYHT, ? , KIVH, GNPO
Correct Answer :
ODBA
Solution :
The correct answer is ODBA.
To determine the missing letter cluster in the given series, we analyze the pattern followed by each letter position across the sequence:
WTNM, SYHT, ?, KIVH, GNPO
1. First letter of each cluster:
W (23) → S (19) → ? → K (11) → G (7)
Pattern: Subtract 4 from the positional value of the previous letter.
Letter 15 is O.
Verification:
(K)
(G)
2. Second letter of each cluster:
T (20) → Y (25) → ? → I (9) → N (14)
Pattern: Add 5 to the positional value of the previous letter.
Letter 4 is D.
Verification:
(I)
(N)
3. Third letter of each cluster:
N (14) → H (8) → ? → V (22) → P (16)
Pattern: Subtract 6 from the positional value of the previous letter.
Letter 2 is B.
Verification:
(V)
(P)
4. Fourth letter of each cluster:
M (13) → T (20) → ? → H (8) → O (15)
Pattern: Add 7 to the positional value of the previous letter.
Letter 1 is A.
Verification:
(H)
(O)
Combining all four obtained letters in sequence gives ODBA.
