Question

Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

BRF, EUH, HXJ, KAL, ?

  1. A. NMB
  2. B. NKH
  3. C. NHG
  4. D. NDN (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — NDN

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is NDN.

Key Points

  • Resolve each column: Position 1 B→E→H→K→N (+3).
  • Position 2 R→U→X→A→D (+3, wrapping past Z).
  • Position 3 F→H→J→L→N (+2).
  • The next cluster is therefore N D N.
  • The wrap in the middle column (X→A→D) is where errors creep in — convert to numbers (mod 26) so the wrap is mechanical rather than guessed.
