Complete the series. SHG, RIF, QJE, PKD, (…)

• A. NMC
• B. NLB
• C. OLC
• D. OLE

Answer 1

Answer:

C. OLC

Let's analyze the series:

• SHG, RIF, QJE, PKD, (?)

It seems like there are three separate patterns happening simultaneously, one for each letter in the three-letter groups.

First Letter Pattern:

• S, R, Q, P, ?

The first letters are simply moving one step backward in the alphabet. So, the next letter should be 'O'.

Second Letter Pattern:

• H, I, J, K, ?

The second letters are moving one step forward in the alphabet. So, the next letter should be 'L'.

Third Letter Pattern:

• G, F, E, D, ?

The third letters are also moving one step backward in the alphabet. So, the next letter should be 'C'.

Combining the Patterns:

Combining the three patterns, the next term in the series should be OLC.
