Question

Which of the following letter-number clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete? NQ27 MP38 LO49 KN60 ?

• A. JM71
• B. JN72
• C. JM72
• D. JN71

Answer 1

Answer:

A. JM71

To make the series logically complete, the question mark (?) will be replaced by JM71.

1. First Letter Pattern

The first letters shift backward by 1 position in alphabetical order:

• N → (-1) → M

• M → (-1) → L

• L → (-1) → K

• K → (-1) → J

  2. Second Letter Pattern

The second letters shift backward by 1 position in alphabetical order:

• Q → (-1) → P

• P → (-1) → O

• O → (-1) → N

• N → (-1) → M

  3. Number Pattern

The numbers follow an arithmetic progression, increasing by 11 in each subsequent term:

• 27 + 11 = 38

• 38 + 11 = 49

• 49 + 11 = 60

• 60 + 11 = 71

• Combining the components (J, M, and 71), we get the next cluster in the sequence: JM71.
