In the following question, various terms of an alphabet sequence are given with one or more terms missing as shown by (?). Choose the missing term.WFB, TGD, QHG,?
Correct answer: B. NIK
- A. NIJ
- B. NIK
- C. NJK
- D. OIK
Explanation
To solve the sequence WFB, TGD, QHG, ?, analyze each letter separately:First letters:W (23) → T (20) → Q (17)Each letter decreases by 3, so the next is N (14).Second letters:F (6) → G (7) → H (8)Each letter increases by 1, so the next is I (9).Third letters:B (2) → D (4) → G (7)The increases follow a pattern of +2, +3, and +4, so the next increase is +4, leading to K (11).Conclusion:The missing term is NIK. While Option B correctly follows all identified patterns, the other options fail to do so, either in the first, second, or third letter adjustments.
