If the first five letter of the alphabet series are in reverse order, ...
When letters are in reverse order in group of five
Letters each:
5th to the right of 12th from the right end(27-12 = 15th from left) means, 15 + 5 = 20
Which lies in 4thgroup(16-20). Therefore,
16 + 20 = 36 36 – 20 = 16th
Which is “P”.

If the first five letter of the alphabet series are in reverse order, ...
Explanation:
The given series follows a pattern where the first and third letters are moved one step forward in the alphabetical order, and the second letter is moved one step backward in the alphabetical order.
- QLR -> RNU (Q+1, L-1, R+1, N-1, U+1)
- JPD -> KQE (J+1, P-1, K+1, Q-1, E+1)
- RNU -> SOV (R+1, N-1, S+1, O-1, V+1)
- GNC -> HOD (G+1, N-1, H+1, O-1, D+1)
- SPX -> TQY (S+1, P-1, T+1, Q-1, Y+1)
- DLB -> EMC (D+1, L-1, E+1, M-1, C+1)
Therefore, the missing term in the series should have the first and third letters moved one step forward in the alphabetical order, and the second letter moved one step backward in the alphabetical order.
Answer:
b)TRA (D+1, L-1, E+1, M-1, C+1)
