Solution

The pattern in the series is as follows:

  • L A: L is the 12th letter of the alphabet and A is the 1st letter. The difference between 12 and 1 is 11.
  • U J: U is the 21st letter of the alphabet and J is the 10th letter. The difference between 21 and 10 is 11.
  • Y I: Y is the 25th letter of the alphabet and I is the 9th letter. The difference between 25 and 9 is 16.
  • E G: E is the 5th letter of the alphabet and G is the 7th letter. The difference between 5 and 7 is -2.

So, the pattern is that the difference between the positions of the two letters in the alphabet is decreasing by 5 each time (11, 11, 16, -2).

Following this pattern, the next difference should be -7.

  • If we subtract 7 from the position of E (5), we get -2, which corresponds to the letter Z in the alphabet (if we consider the alphabet as a circular sequence).
  • If we subtract 7 from the position of G (7), we get 0, which corresponds to the letter H in the alphabet (if we consider the alphabet as a circular sequence).

So, the answer is ZH (Option A).
