Q. Choose the missing terms out of the given alternatives :
AZY, BUT, CXW, DWV, ?
AZY, BUT, CXW, DWV, ?
✅ Correct Answer: (B)
EVU
Explanation: Let's analyze the pattern in the given series: AZY, BUT, CXW, DWV, ?
First letters:
A (1) → B (2) → C (3) → D (4) → ?
The pattern follows: +1 each time.
Next letter: D (4) + 1 = E (5)
Second letters:
Z (26) → U (21) → X (24) → W (23) → ?
The pattern follows: -5, +3, -1 (alternating pattern)
Next step: W (23) - 5 = V (18)
Third letters:
Y (25) → T (20) → W (23) → V (22) → ?
The pattern follows: -5, +3, -1 (same alternating pattern as second letters)
Next step: V (22) - 5 = U (17)
Thus, the missing term is EVU, and the correct answer is:
(B) EVU
