Complete the following series: KCD, LEF, MGH,_ OKL.
Correct answer: C. NIJ
- A. NQM
- B. PJI
- C. NIJ
- D. NJI
Explanation
The series can be analyzed by examining the letters in each segment. For the second letter in each term, the pattern follows:K (11) → L (12) → M (13) → N (14) → O (15) indicates a +1 increment.C (3) → E (5) → G (7) → I (9) → K (11) shows a +2 increment.Following this pattern leads us to the next term, which would be NIJ. The other options do not fit these increments:NQM fails to establish the correct sequence.PJI deviates from the progression.NJI, while similar, does not maintain the required increments.Thus, the correct answer is NIJ.
