    Solution

    The first letter and the third letter in each letter cluster are replaced by their third preceding letter, as per English alphabetical order. The second letter in each letter cluster is replaced by fourth succeeding letter, as per English alphabetical order. So, A - 3 = X, X - 3 = U, U - 3 = R, R - 3 = O, O- 3 = L E + 4 = I, I + 4 = M, M + 4 = Q, Q + 4 = U, U + 4 = Y Q - 3 = N, N - 3 = K, K - 3 = H, H - 3 = E, E - 3 = B So, 'LYB' will replace the question mark in the given series.
