SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 87

SSC CHSL - 25 May 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q87

Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? 

ZFOE, PYUA, FRAW, VKES, ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e.  LDIO 

The logic in the series is:

ZFOE, PYUA, FRAW, VKES, ? 

Consider the first letters

Z - 10 = P, P - 10 = F, F - 10 = V, V - 10 = L

consider the second letter,

F - 7 = Y, Y - 7 = R, R - 7 = K, K - 7 = D

Similarly,

The third letter of each word is a vowel: O, U, A, E,

so, the next vowel will be I. 

Again, 

E - 4 = A, A - 4 = W, W - 4 = S, S - 4 = O.

Hence, the correct answer is LDIO.
