• A. MOH
• B. NOH
• C. MOG
• D. NOQ

Answer 1

Answer:

B. NOH

Write letters with their positions (A=1 … Z=26):

• Z W T → (26, 23, 20)

• W U Q → (23, 21, 17)

• T S N → (20, 19, 14)

• Q Q K → (17, 17, 11)

  ObserVe the pattern (column-wise):

1st letters:
26 → 23 → 20 → 17 → 14 (−3 each time) → N

2nd letters:
23 → 21 → 19 → 17 → 15 (−2 each time) → O

3rd letters:
20 → 17 → 14 → 11 → 8 (−3 each time) → H

So the next term is:

N O H
