Fill the missing letter in the letter-triples: FOX, GP?, HQZ. Observe the position-wise sequences to determine the middle missing letter.

Difficulty: Easy

Y
Z
T
W
None of these

Correct Answer: Y

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
In position-wise letter series, each column (1st, 2nd, 3rd letters) typically follows its own alphabetic progression.

Given Data / Assumptions:

Triples: F O X, G P ?, H Q Z.
Alphabet index: A=1 … Z=26.

Concept / Approach:
Track each position independently to see consistent +1 or +2 progressions.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1st letters: F(6) → G(7) → H(8): +1 each step.2nd letters: O(15) → P(16) → Q(17): +1 each step.3rd letters: X(24) → ? → Z(26): +1 each step implies Y(25).

Verification / Alternative check:
Rewriting as three parallel sequences (FGH), (OPQ), (XYZ) makes the pattern obvious.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Z would overshoot; T and W do not fit the +1 trajectory.

Common Pitfalls:
Looking for constant shifts across whole triples rather than column-wise shifts.
