Correct Answer :

Option C

BGSN

Solution :

The correct option is BGSN.


To find the missing letter cluster in the given series, let us analyze the pattern followed by each letter position across the sequence.


Given Series:
TWEZ, XBYG, ?, FLMU, JQGB


Let us look at the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26):


1st Letter Pattern:
T (22) + 4 = X (24)
X (24) + 4 = 28 → 28 - 26 = 2 = B
B (2) + 4 = F (6)
F (6) + 4 = J (10)
So, the first letter is B.


2nd Letter Pattern:
W (23) + 5 = 28 → 28 - 26 = 2 = B
B (2) + 5 = 7 = G
G (7) + 5 = L (12)
L (12) + 5 = Q (17)
So, the second letter is G.


3rd Letter Pattern:
E (5) - 6 = -1 → 26 - 1 = 25 = Y
Y (25) - 6 = 19 = S
S (19) - 6 = M (13)
M (13) - 6 = G (7)
So, the third letter is S.


4th Letter Pattern:
Z (26) + 7 = 33 → 33 - 26 = 7 = G
G (7) + 7 = 14 = N
N (14) + 7 = U (21)
U (21) + 7 = 28 → 28 - 26 = 2 = B
So, the fourth letter is N.


Combining all the letters, we get BGSN.
