    Question

    What should come in place of (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?
    LYG, JWE, HUC, FSA, ?

    A.

    DQY

    B.

    BOX

    C.

    EPZ

    D.

    CPX

    Correct option is A

    Given: LYG, JWE, HUC, FSA, ?
    Logic: Each letter is decreasing by - 2 in alphabetical order.
    First Letters: L, J, H, F, ?
    L – 2 = J
    J – 2 = H
    H – 2 = F
    F – 2 = D
    So, the first letter = D
    Second Letters: Y, W, U, S, ?
    Y – 2 = W
    W – 2 = U
    U – 2 = S
    S – 2 = Q
    So, the second letter = Q
    Third Letters: G, E, C, A, ?
    G – 2 = E
    E – 2 = C
    C – 2 = A
    A – 2 = Y
    So, the third letter = Y
    Therefore, the missing term is: DQY
    Thus, the correct option is (a) DQY.
