Analyze the pattern for each of the three positions (1st, 2nd, 3rd letters) independently. The sequence follows a steady increment: +2, +1, +1 respectively.
Analyze the pattern for each of the three positions (1st, 2nd, 3rd letters) independently. The sequence follows a steady increment: +2, +1, +1 respectively.
Analyze 1st Letters
The first letters are G(7), I(9), K(11), M(13). The pattern is +2. 13 + 2 = 15, which is O.
Analyze 2nd Letters
The second letters are N(14), P(16), R(18), T(20). The pattern is +2. 20 + 2 = 22, which is V.
Analyze 3rd Letters
The third letters are K(11), M(13), O(15), Q(17). The pattern is +2. 17 + 2 = 19, which is S.
A: OVR has 'R' at the end instead of 'S'. B: OUS has 'U' instead of 'V'. D: OUR has 'U' instead of 'V' and 'R' instead of 'S'.
C is correct because the series follows a consistent +2 leap for each letter position (G+2=I, N+2=P, K+2=M), resulting in OVS.
Always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, B=2...) to identify arithmetic patterns easily in any coding or series question.
