Answer 1

Given:-

SHG, RIF, QJE, PKD, ___

Find:-

Missing term.

Solution:-

Firstly, notice the first letters of each word.

i.e.

$\implies$ S, R, Q, P.

If we read from backward it will be : P, Q, R, S.

So, next letter will be T.

But wait!

S = 1st, R = 2nd, Q = 3rd and P = 4th

So,

O = 5th

→ The first letter is O.

Means, the answer is that word which starts with O.

But in given options there are two options which starts with O.

Now,

Second letters of each are :

$\implies$ H, I, J, K

After K, L comes.

So,

→ Second letter is L.

Similarly,

Notice the third letter of each words.

i.e.

$\implies$ G, F, E, D.

The above alphabet is in backward form.

Before D; C comes.

So,

→ Third letter is C.

Now, arrange them :

$\implies \:\sf{1)\:=\:O}$

$\implies \:\sf{2)\:=\:L}$

$\implies \:\sf{3)\:=\:C}$

• In short :

The first letter moves backward, second letter moves forward and third letter moves again backward.

•°• Series :- SHG, RIF, QJE, PKD, OLC.

Option (B) OLC
