Question

Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete? SBL 13, VWO 17, YRR 21, BMU 25, ?

• A. YIY 29
• B. YYI 31
• C. EHX 29
• D. EXH 31

Answer 1

Answer:

C. EHX 29

EHX 29 will replace the question mark (?) to make the series logically complete.

The Pattern Breakdown

The series splits into four independent sub-patterns: the three individual letters and the closing number.

1. First Letter (+3 forward shift):

   • S (+3) $\rightarrow$ V

   • V (+3) $\rightarrow$ Y

   • Y (+3) $\rightarrow$ B (cycles back past Z)

   • B (+3) $\rightarrow$ E

2. Second Letter (-5 backward shift):

   • B (-5) $\rightarrow$ W

   • W (-5)$\rightarrow$ R

   • R (-5) $\rightarrow$ M

   • M (-5) $\rightarrow$H

3. Third Letter (+3 forward shift):

   • L (+3) $\rightarrow$ O

   • O (+3) $\rightarrow$ R

   • R (+3) $\rightarrow$ U

   • U (+3) $\rightarrow$ X

4. The Number (+4 additions):

   • 13 (+4) $\rightarrow$ 17

   • 17 (+4) $\rightarrow$ 21

   • 21 (+4) $\rightarrow$ 25

   • 25 (+4) $\rightarrow$ 29

Combining these together gives the final complete term: EHX 29.
