Which term from among the given options can replace the question mark (?) in the following series to make it logically complete?
LT 48, ?, NV 42, OW 39, PX 36

Correct option is A

Given: LT 48, ?, NV 42, OW 39, PX 36

First letter: L → ? → N → O → P

The pattern is increasing by +1.

Second letter: T →? → V → W → X

The pattern is increasing by +1.

Given this pattern, the missing term should have the first letter "M" and the second letter "U" (since each letter increases by 1 from the previous one).

Numerical Pattern

The numbers in the series are decreasing by 3:

48 → 45 → 42 → 39 → 36

Thus, the number in the missing term should be 45 (since 48 - 3 = 45).

Based on the logic, the missing term should be MU 45.

The correct answer is (A) MU 45.
