Answer 2

Answer: OMX

Concept:

In a series of letters, a letter pattern is a sequence of letters. This pattern builds a general relationship among all letters.

Given:

UKT, RLV,_____ LNZ?

Find:

Fill in the blank.

Solution:

Let the values of the alphabets be A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on.

For the first letter of each word

U, R, ......., L

$U=21\\R=18\\R-U=-3$

So the next letter will be R-3

$18-3 = 15=O$

So the next letter is O.

For the second letter of each word

K, L, ......, N

$K=11\\L=12\\L-K=+1$

So the next letter will be L+1

$12+1=13=M$

So the next letter is M.

For the third letter of each word

T, V, ......., Z

$T=20\\V=22\\V-T=2$

So the next letter will be V+2

$22+2=24=X$

So the next letter is X.

Following the same pattern with OMX gives the next term LNZ.

Hence the missing word is OMX.
