Question

Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

QGMW, VCPU, AYSS, ?, KQYO

1. A. FUVQ (Correct answer)
2. B. FTUO
3. C. FVQO
4. D. FUXO

Correct Answer

Option A — FUVQ

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is FUVQ.

Key Points

• Column 1: +5 each (Q→V→A→F→K). Column 2: −4 each (G→C→Y→U→Q).
• Column 3: +3 each (M→P→S→V→Y). Column 4: −2 each (W→U→S→Q→O).
• The missing term is FUVQ.

Additional Information

• For four-letter series, treat each column as its own sequence; the four columns rarely share a rule.
• The columns here move +5, −4, +3, −2 — alternating in sign and decreasing in size, a pattern worth recognising.
• Use the term after the gap as a check: computing forward to KQYO confirms all four column rules at once.
