D) I

Answer 1

REPLACE THE QUESTION MARK

Answer:

The series given to us is:

• L J H
• J P D
• P ? E

In order to find the missing letter, we need to first understand the logic behind the arrangement of the letters.

Focus on the number behind the letters in each series as follows:

I Series: L J H

• L = 12
• J = 10
• H = 8
• L + J + H = 12 + 10 + 8 = 30

II Series: J P D

• J = 10
• P = 16
• D = 4
• J + P + D = 10 + 16 + 4 = 30

In both the above series, the letters are arranged in such a manner that the sum of the numbers behind them gives a sum of 30. Hence, in the third series. the missing letter should be added in such a manner that the sum of all the letters in that series comes out to be 30.

III Series: P ? E

• P = 16
• ?
• E = 5
• P + ? + E = 16 + ? + 5 = 21 + ?

Now,

21 + ? = 30

? = 30 - 21

? = 9

Check which letter appears at 9th place. Letter 'I' appears at 9th place.

Hence, the missing letter is 'I'

Final Answer:

Option (D) 'I' is the correct answer.
