DFE, HJI, LNM, PRQ, ?

Solution:

Concept:

The series follows a fixed letter-position increment in each place.

Explanation:

Write the letter positions:

\mathrm{D}=4

\mathrm{F}=6

\mathrm{E}=5

Next term:

\mathrm{H}=8

\mathrm{J}=10

\mathrm{I}=9

Next term:

\mathrm{L}=12

\mathrm{N}=14

\mathrm{M}=13

Next term:

\mathrm{P}=16

\mathrm{R}=18

\mathrm{Q}=17

In each term, the first, second, and third letters each increase by

4

from the previous term.

So the next term is:

First letter:

16+4=20 \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}

Second letter:

18+4=22 \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}

Third letter:

17+4=21 \Rightarrow \mathrm{U}

Thus, the missing term is

\mathrm{TVU}

Answer:

\mathrm{TVU}
