Select the next element of the series: $\text{Z, WV , RQP,}$ _____

1. $\text{LKJI}$
2. $\text{JIHG}$
3. $\text{KJIH}$
4. $\text{NMLK}$

In first place we have one letter, in second place we have two-letters and so on.

Now, we can follow the pattern.

• $Z \overset{-4}{\rightarrow} W \overset{-6}{\rightarrow} R \overset{-8}{\rightarrow} K$
• $V \overset{-6}{\rightarrow} Q \overset{-8}{\rightarrow} J$
• $P \overset{-8}{\rightarrow} I$
• $H$

So, the correct answer is $(C).$

Ans C.

Sequence Number of Letter

 Z W, V R, Q, P 26 23, 22 18, 17, 16
 LKJI JIHG KJIH NMLK 12, 11, 10, 9 10, 9, 8, 7 11, 10, 9, 8 14, 13, 12, 11

Number of Letters increasing in – 1 – 2 – 3 – (4 letters)

Difference in Letter coding Between terms

First – Second = $26-23=3$ (Y, X, W)

Second – Third = $18-22=4$ (U, T, S, R)

Third – Fourth = $16-x= 5, x=11$  Starting from K

It was more of a pattern if u see.…

1. Z (the next two letters were missing) YX
2. WV (next three letters were missing) UTS
3. RQP ( next four letters were missing) ONML
4. KJIH …. and so on…...
