    Question

    What should come in place of? in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?
    HVP, JZO, LDN, NHM, ?

    A.

    PLL

    B.

    NLN

    C.

    MLM

    D.

    OLL

    Correct option is A

    Given - HVP, JZO, LDN, NHM, ?

    First letter:
    H → J → L → N
    The first letter is increased by 2 positions in the alphabet:
    H (8th letter), J (10th letter), L (12th letter), N (14th letter), so the next letter should be P (16th letter).
    Second letter:
    V → Z → D → H
    The second letter follows a pattern of alternating between the end of the alphabet and the start:
    V → Z (move forward by 4 positions),
    Z → D (move forward by 4 positions),
    D → H (move forward by 4 positions).
    Therefore, the next letter should be L (move forward by 4 positions from H).
    Third letter:
    P → O → N → M
    The third letter is decreasing by 1 position in the alphabet:
    P (16th letter), O (15th letter), N (14th letter), M (13th letter), so the next letter should be L (12th letter).
    Conclusion:
    The next combination should be PLL.
    Answer:
    A. PLL
