Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In each group of three letters, the pattern of gaps between consecutive letters is the same: the second letter is +1 from the first, and the third letter is +3 from the second.
EFI: E → F (+1) → I (+3); CDG: C → D (+1) → G (+3); PQT: P → Q (+1) → T (+3).
Applying the same +1, +3 rule, the group whose letters follow this pattern is U → V (+1) → Y (+3), i.e. UVY.
Therefore the missing term is UVY.
