Question

In the following letter series, find the letters to replace the question-mark(?) to complete the series:
ZXW VTS RPO NLK ? FDC

a)
JIH
b)
GHJ
c)
JHG
d)
IHG

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

To solve this letter series, we need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the progression of letters. Let's analyze the given series:

ZXW VTS RPO NLK ? FDC

- The first observation we can make is that the letters are arranged in a reverse alphabetical order.
- In each subsequent term, the letters are shifted three positions to the left.

Based on these observations, we can deduce that the missing letters should continue the reverse alphabetical order and be shifted three positions to the left.

Let's apply this rule to the last term 'FDC' to find the missing letters:

F - 3 positions to the left = C
D - 3 positions to the left = A
C - 3 positions to the left = Z

Therefore, the missing letters are 'CAZ'.

Now, let's look at the answer choices:
a) JIH
b) GHJ
c) JHG
d) IHG

Let's apply the rule to each answer choice:

a) JIH - This choice does not follow the reverse alphabetical order.
b) GHJ - This choice follows the reverse alphabetical order but does not shift three positions to the left.
c) JHG - This choice follows the reverse alphabetical order and shifts three positions to the left.
d) IHG - This choice does not follow the reverse alphabetical order.

Based on our observations and analysis, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 'C' (JHG), as it follows the reverse alphabetical order and shifts three positions to the left, which is consistent with the given series.
