Observe the three letters in each cluster independently: the 1st letter moves +2, the 2nd letter is an opposite pair (A-Z, B-Y), and the 3rd letter moves +2.
Observe the three letters in each cluster independently: the 1st letter moves +2, the 2nd letter is an opposite pair (A-Z, B-Y), and the 3rd letter moves +2.
Analyze the first letter of each cluster
D(4), F(6), H(8), J(10). The pattern is +2. Next is 10 + 2 = 12, which is L.
Analyze the second letter of each cluster
W(23), U(21), S(19), Q(17). The pattern is -2. Next is 17 - 2 = 15, which is O.
Analyze the third letter of each cluster
E(5), G(7), I(9), K(11). The pattern is +2. Next is 11 + 2 = 13, which is M.
B: Incorrect as the third letter N is +3 from K instead of +2. C: Incorrect as the second letter P is not following the -2 sequence. D: Incorrect as the third letter O is not following the +2 sequence.
A is correct because the sequence follows a +2, -2, +2 positional shift for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd letters respectively, resulting in LOM.
For alphabetical series, always write the numeric position of letters (A=1, Z=26) immediately above them on your scratchpad to identify patterns instantly.
