Which of the following options should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order? DFH, KMO, RTV, YAC,?
EGI
FHJ
FIL
EGK
FHJ
Look at the first letter of each triplet: D(+7)=K, K(+7)=R, R(+7)=Y, Y(+7)=F. Each letter in the triplet advances by +2 positions, and the sequence wraps around the alphabet (mod 26).
Look at the first letter of each triplet: D(+7)=K, K(+7)=R, R(+7)=Y, Y(+7)=F. Each letter in the triplet advances by +2 positions, and the sequence wraps around the alphabet (mod 26).
Analyze First Letters
The first letters of each term are D (4), K (11), R (18), Y (25). The pattern adds +7 at each step (25 + 7 = 32 = 6 mod 26, which is F).
Analyze Second and Third Letters
Each triplet advances internally by +2 (e.g., D to F is +2, F to H is +2). Applying the same +7 shift to each letter of YAC gives F, H, and J respectively.
Conclusion
The missing term in place of the question mark is FHJ, which corresponds to Option B.
A: EGI is incorrect as it does not follow the +7 letter progression rule. C: FIL is incorrect because its letters do not maintain the internal +2 step and +7 sequence. D: EGK is incorrect because it violates the uniform letter spacing rule.
B is correct because each letter in the triplet increases by +7 positions with alphabet wrap-around, leading to FHJ.
Always convert letters to numerical positions (A=1 to Z=26) when solving multi-letter series questions to quickly identify arithmetic progressions.
