Complete the following series.
EZI, FYJ, GXK, HWL, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The pattern followed by each letter position in the series is as follows:
• First letter: increases by 1 position:
E (+1) → F (+1) → G (+1) → H (+1) → I
• Second letter: decreases by 1 position:
Z (−1) → Y (−1) → X (−1) → W (−1) → V
• Third letter: increases by 1 position:
I (+1) → J (+1) → K (+1) → L (+1) → M
Therefore, the missing term is IVM.
