Directions to Solve ...
Solution:
The given question follows a certain pattern, where each letter of the word BLOCKED is replaced by the corresponding letter from the reverse order of the alphabet. For example, B is replaced by Y, C is replaced by X, D is replaced by W and so on.
Using the same pattern, we can find the missing term as follows:
- ? : OZFMXS
We need to replace the letters of the question mark with the corresponding letters from the reverse order of the alphabet.
- The first letter of the missing term is the 15th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'O'.
- The second letter of the missing term is the 24th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'X'.
- The third letter of the missing term is the 6th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'F'.
- The fourth letter of the missing term is the 13th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'M'.
- The fifth letter of the missing term is the 24th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'X'.
- The sixth letter of the missing term is the 19th letter of the English alphabet, which is 'S'.
Hence, the missing term is 'OLAUNCH', which is given in option D. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
