   • C. BJP
   • D. PJB

   Each letter moves back by one: E, D, C, B, A; M, L, K, J, I; S, R, Q, P, O, so the missing term is BJP.

   Each letter is moved one step forward: S→T, C→D, H→I, O→P, O→P, L→M. So S→T, T→U, U→V, D→E, E→F, N→O, T→U gives TUVEFOU.

3. Q3. Introducing a man, a woman says, 'His wife is the only daughter of my father.' How is the man related to the woman?
