SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 77

SSC CGL - 11 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q77

Select the letter cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

KMTC, EVOM, OQXG, IZSQ, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. SUBK.

Given series: KMTC, EVOM, OQXG, IZSQ,?

The series follows this pattern:

KMTC, EVOM

Reverse the letters: 

KMTC - CTMK

C + 2 = E, T + 2 = V, M + 2 = O, K + 2 = M

Similarly;

IZSQ,?

IZSQ - QSZI

Q + 2 = S, S + 2 = U, Z + 2 = B, I + 2 = K

So, the next term in the series is SUBK.
