Question (English)

Select the option that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
VO39, TM35, RK31, PI27, ?

  1. OH24
  2. MG22
  3. NG23 ✓ Correct
  4. MH24
Explanation:

Logic Analysis of the Series:

  • First Letter Series: The first letters follow a pattern of subtracting 2 from their alphabetical positions.
    V ($22$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ T ($20$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ R ($18$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ P ($16$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ N ($14$)
  • Second Letter Series: The second letters also follow a pattern of subtracting 2.
    O ($15$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ M ($13$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ K ($11$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ I ($9$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ G ($7$)
  • Number Series: The numbers decrease by 4 in each step.
    $39 \xrightarrow{-4} 35 \xrightarrow{-4} 31 \xrightarrow{-4} 27 \xrightarrow{-4}$ $23$

Combining all parts, we get NG23.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

उस विकल्प का चयन करें जो निम्नलिखित श्रृंखला में प्रश्न चिह्न (?) को प्रतिस्थापित कर सकता है।
VO39, TM35, RK31, PI27, ?

  1. OH24
  2. MG22
  3. NG23
  4. MH24
स्पष्टीकरण:

श्रृंखला का तर्क:

  • पहला अक्षर: पहले अक्षर अपने वर्णमाला क्रम में 2 स्थान पीछे जा रहे हैं।
    V ($22$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ T ($20$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ R ($18$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ P ($16$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ N ($14$)
  • दूसरा अक्षर: दूसरे अक्षर भी 2 स्थान पीछे जा रहे हैं।
    O ($15$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ M ($13$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ K ($11$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ I ($9$) $\xrightarrow{-2}$ G ($7$)
  • संख्या: संख्याओं में प्रत्येक चरण में 4 की कमी हो रही है।
    $39 \xrightarrow{-4} 35 \xrightarrow{-4} 31 \xrightarrow{-4} 27 \xrightarrow{-4}$ $23$

अतः, सही संयोजन NG23 है।
