• A. VIQ
• B. VIR
• C. UJR
• D. UIR

Answer 1

Answer:

D. UIR

Let’s break the series into columns:

Series:
AYF, FUI, KQL, PMO, ?

Analyze each position separately

1st letters:

A → F → K → P
Each step is +5
So next: P + 5 = U

---

2nd letters:

Y → U → Q → M
Each step is −4
So next: M − 4 = I

---

3rd letters:

F → I → L → O
Each step is +3
So next: O + 3 = R

Next term = U I R

Answer: UIR
