Observe the first letter of each cluster (H, J, L, N) to identify a +2 pattern, then apply the +2, +2, +2 offset for each subsequent position in the cluster.
Observe the first letter of each cluster (H, J, L, N) to identify a +2 pattern, then apply the +2, +2, +2 offset for each subsequent position in the cluster.
Analyze the first letter of each cluster
The first letters are H(8), J(10), L(12), N(14). Following the +2 pattern, the next letter is 14 + 2 = 16, which is P.
Analyze the second letter of each cluster
The second letters are L(12), N(14), P(16), R(18). Following the +2 pattern, the next letter is 18 + 2 = 20, which is T.
Analyze the third letter of each cluster
The third letters are K(11), M(13), O(15), Q(17). Following the +2 pattern, the next letter is 17 + 2 = 19, which is S.
A: PSR is incorrect as the second letter follows a +2 pattern (R → T), not a +1. C: PUR is incorrect as the second and third letters do not fit the +2 pattern sequence. D: PQS is incorrect as the second letter Q does not follow the +2 pattern from R.
B is correct because the series follows a consistent +2, +2, +2 pattern for each of the three positions in the cluster, resulting in P, T, and S.
For letter series, always write the numerical rank (A=1, Z=26) immediately; it converts complex character problems into simple addition or subtraction patterns.
