Correct Answer: RMJ
Solution :
Given:
JYB, LVD, NSF, PPH, ?
Add 2 to the place value of the first and third letters and subtract 3 from the place value of the second letter of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
JYB→J + 2 = L; Y – 3 = V; B + 2 = D→LVD
LVD→L + 2 = N; V – 3 = S; D + 2 = F→NSF
NSF→N + 2 = P; S – 3= P; F + 2 = H→PPH
PPH→P + 2 = R; P – 3 = M; H + 2 = J→RMJ
So, the missing term is RMJ. Hence, the third option is correct.
