Question

Find the missing term in the following series: APZLT, CQYNR, ERXPP, GSWRN, ITVTL.

• A. KUUVJ
• B. KVUJJ
• C. JUVUR
• D. KVUVJ

Hint:

Analyze each position's alphabetical pattern individually to find the next term.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Observe the pattern of each position in the series:
1st letters: A, C, E, G, I, ?
These increase by 2 in alphabetical order: A(1), C(3), E(5), G(7), I(9), so next is K(11).
2nd letters: P, Q, R, S, T, ?
These increase by 1: P(16), Q(17), R(18), S(19), T(20), next is U(21).
3rd letters: Z, Y, X, W, V, ?
These decrease by 1: Z(26), Y(25), X(24), W(23), V(22), next is U(21).
4th letters: L, N, P, R, T, ?
These increase by 2: L(12), N(14), P(16), R(18), T(20), next is V(22).
5th letters: T, R, P, N, L, ?
These decrease by 2: T(20), R(18), P(16), N(14), L(12), next is J(10).
Thus the next term is \(\boxed{KUUVJ}\).
