Answer:
answer is "bc"
Explanation:
for p ans s two letter gap and for M and Q 3 letter gap.use this for problem
The next term in the given series is BC, such that the series is PM, SQ, VU, YY, BC. (option 4th)
Given,
Series:
PM, SQ, VU, YY, __?
To find,
Next term.
Solution,
Here, the given series is
PM, SQ, VU, YY, __.
We can see that the pattern being followed in the given series is that, the first letter in the next term is at a position 3 more than the position of the first letter in the previous term.
Further, the second letter in the next term is at a position 4 more than the position of the second letter in the previous term.
Position means the positions of letters in the English alphabet.
And, after Z, letters again begin from A and continue as A, B, C, and so on.
So, for example, consider PM, SQ.
Here,
1st term: PM,
2nd term: SQ.
Now, P + 3 = S
⇒ S will be the first letter in the 2nd term, and,
M + 4 = Q
⇒ Q will be the second letter in the 2nd term.
Thus, the series is formed as follows.
PM: 1st term, then,
(P + 3)(M + 4) = SQ
(S + 3)(Q + 4) = VU
(V + 3)(U + 4) = YY
So, the next term = (Y + 3)(Y + 4) = BC.
Therefore, the next term in the given series is BC, such that the series is PM, SQ, VU, YY, BC. (option 4th)
