Question

Find the missing term in the following series:

$\text{dfe, jih, mln, ?, vut}$

• A. $\text{oqp}$
• B. $\text{psr}$
• C. $\text{prq}$
• D. $\text{rsp}$
• E. $\text{oqr}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{prq}$

Each term forms a group of three consecutive letters in alphabetic series.

And the next group will be obtained by leaving one letter after the previous group.

So, the missing term has a group $pqr$, where q and r interchanges their positions.

Thus, the missing term is prq.
