Correct Answer: JJ
Solution :
Given:
JN, OR, UW, BC, ?
Add the numbers in increasing order, (starting from 5 for the first letter and starting from 4 for the second letter) to the positional value of the first and second letters respectively of the previous term to get the next term in the series.
First letter of the series→J + 5 = O; O + 6 = U; U + 7 = B; B + 8 = J
Second letter of the series→N + 4 = R; R + 5 = W; W + 6 = C; C + 7 = J
So, from the above, JJ is the missing term of the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
