correct answer is: option c (V)
Explanation: The series follows two alternating patterns. The first pattern adds 2 to the letter (M + 2 = O, O + 2 = Q, Q + 2 = S). The second pattern adds 2 to the letter (P + 2 = R, R + 2 = T, T + 2 = V). Therefore, the missing letter is V.
- Option a: R - Incorrect. R would fit if the previous letter in the series was P, not S.
- Option b: T - Incorrect. T fits the second pattern, but the missing letter should follow the second pattern which is obtained by adding two to the last letter that follows the second pattern.
- Option c: V - Correct. V fits as T + 2 = V
- Option d: U - Incorrect. U doesn't fit the pattern formed by adding two to the letters following either the first pattern or the second pattern.
