Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Step 1: Identify the required pattern. We are looking for: [Consonant] - [Vowel] - [Vowel].
The target letter is the middle Vowel (A, E, I, O, U).
Step 2: Scan the series from left to right, locate all vowels, and check their immediate neighbors:
Series: P V V M H V X E L E E F T S I O X I G
Let's test each vowel:
E (first): Preceded by X (Consonant), followed by L (Consonant). -> Fails
E (second): Preceded by L (Consonant), followed by E (Vowel). -> Passes (L E E)
E (third): Preceded by E (Vowel), followed by F (Consonant). -> Fails
I (first): Preceded by S (Consonant), followed by O (Vowel). -> Passes (S I O)
O: Preceded by I (Vowel), followed by X (Consonant). -> Fails
I (second): Preceded by X (Consonant), followed by G (Consonant). -> Fails
Step 3: There are exactly 2 instances that satisfy the given condition.
Final Answer: Option B
