Answer 1

Answer:

D. WXRLJ

Let’s recheck carefully—good catch questioning it.

Series:
_ Z V R U
_ T P S V
_ N Q T P
_ O R N _

We need letters in positions: 1st of each row + last of last row.

Look row-wise (this is the key pattern):

Each row follows alternating pattern:
−4, −4, −4 (with cyclic shift

Row 1:

? → Z → V → R → U
Z → V (−4), V → R (−4), R → U (+3)
So reverse pattern gives:
? = W (since W → Z is +3)

Row 2:

? → T → P → S → V
T → P (−4), P → S (+3), S → V (+3)
Backtracking gives:
? = X

Row 3:

? → N → Q → T → P
N → Q (+3), Q → T (+3), T → P (−4)
So ? = R

Row 4:

? → O → R → N → ?
O → R (+3), R → N (−4), N → J (−4)
So first ? = L, last ? = J

Final letters:

W, X, R, L, J
