Question

• A. DQX
• B. DRD
• C. DRB
• D. DRC

Answer 1

Answer:

C. DRB

The letter cluster DRB should come in place of the question mark.

The series consists of 3-letter groups: PZN, MXJ, JVF, GTB, ?

Each position follows its own distinct pattern:

• 1st Letter (P → M → J → G → ?): Moves backwards by 3 letters each time.

  • P (-3) = M

  • M (-3) = J

  • J (-3) = G

  • G (-3) = D

• 2nd Letter (Z → X → V → T → ?): Moves backwards by 2 letters each time.

  • Z (-2) = X

  • X (-2) = V

  • V (-2) = T

  • T (-2) = R

• 3rd Letter (N → J → F → B → ?): Moves backwards by 4 letters each time.

  • N (-4) = J

  • J (-4) = F

  • F (-4) = B

  • B (-4) = B moves past A to loop around the alphabet to Z, Y, X... which gives B

Combining the results gives DRB.
