SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 66

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q66

Find the next term in the given letter series:

YZYWYZYZ, YZYZWYZY, YZYZYWYZ, YZYZYZWY, YZYZYZYW, ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given series:

YZYWZYZ, YZYZWYZ, YZYZYWZ, YZYZYZW, YZYZYZWW, ?

It is observed that the letters Y and Z are arranged alternately, and the letter W shifts one position to the right in each step.

In the last term, W appears twice at the end. Therefore, in the next term, W will increase by one and appear three times at the end.

Hence, the next term is YZYZYWWW.

The correct answer is option 3.
