    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?
    EHO, HJP, KLQ, ? , QPS

    A.

    MMR

    B.

    MNR

    C.

    NMR

    D.

    NNR

    Correct option is D

    Given: EHO, HJP, KLQ, ? , QPS
    Logic: 1st letters + 3, 2nd letters + 2, 3rd letters + 1
    First Letters:
    E + 3 = H
    H + 3 = K
    K + 3 = N
    N + 3 = Q
    So, the first letter of the missing term is N.
    Second Letters:
    H + 2 = J
    J + 2 = L
    L + 2 = N
    N + 2 = P
    So, the second letter of the missing term is N.
    Third Letters:
    O + 1 = P
    P + 1 = Q
    Q + 1 = R
    R + 1 = S
    So, the third letter of the missing term is R.
    So, the missing term is NNR
    Thus, the correct option is (d) NNR
