Correct Answer: FV31

Solution : Given:
DT35, EU33, ?, GW29, HX27

Add 1 in the place value of the first and the second letter and subtract 2 from the number, to get the next term of the series –
DT35→D + 1 = E; T + 1 = U; 35 – 2 = 33→EU33
EU33→E + 1 = F; U + 1 = V; 33 – 2 = 31→FV31
FV31→F + 1 = G; V + 1 = W; 31 – 2 = 29→GW29
GW29→G + 1 = H; W + 1 = X; 29 – 2 = 27→HX27

So, the missing cluster would be FV31. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
