SSC CHSL - 17 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q41

Which of the following options will be the next term in the given series?
aabaaaaa, abaaaaaa, baaaaaaa, (?)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Series:

aabaaaaa, abaaaaaa, baaaaaaa, (?)

In each term, the letter “b” shifts one position to the left.

Position of b:

aabaaaaa → 3rd position

abaaaaaa → 2nd position

baaaaaaa → 1st position

After reaching the first position, b moves to the last position.

Therefore, the next term = aaaaaaab

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
