Logical Reasoning - Letter and Symbol Series - Discussion

From this, 4 COMBINATIONS, we can observe that,

The first CHARACTERS (Z, Y, X, W) are in DESCENDING ORDER
As well as NUMBERS (4, 3) are also in DESCENDING ORDER
i.e., (Z, Y4, X, W3).

Now
The second CHARACTERS (A, B, C, D) and NUMBERS (5, 6) are in ASCENDING ORDER respectively.

i.e., (A5,B,C6,D).

So, the 4 combinations are as ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D,?

Now we can easily get that 5th combination as
the first character in the FIFTH combination in descending order should be " V"
(here " V" doesn't have any number whereas the " W" has the number in the 4th combination).

And the second character and number in FIFTH combination should be " E7"

So the answer is "VE7" (option D).

Hi Rajesh and Vishal,

Pls look at this series ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, ... carefully.


Here,
the number 5 is being RIGHT most place of the 1st set (ZA5).
the number 4 is being in the MIDDLE of the two letters (Y4B).

the number 6 is being RIGHT most place of the 2nd set
the number 3 is being in the MIDDLE of the two letters

..... and so on.

Now,
All the numbers placed at RIGHT most place are in Increasing order. 5, 6, ...
All the number placed in between the letters are in Decreasing order. 4, 3, ...

From the given series, clearly the next set will have a number in the RIGHT most place and it should be 7 (because 5, 6, 7,...).

ZYXW(?)---> V
ABCD(?)---> E
5 6 (?)---> 7

Therefore the answer is VE7.

ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, (_____).

For First Letter Z, Y, X, W, V in decreasing order.

For Number;
-1,+2,-3,+4.

The first place = 5.
Second place 5-1=4.
third Place 4+2=6.
Fourth Place 6-3=3.
So, the fifth Place will be 3+4=7.

For number position 3rd place then second-place again on 3rd place and then 2nd place in last it will be on 3rd place(3,2,3,2,3).

A, B, C, D, E in increasing order.
The answer is VE7.

Thanks.

ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, (_____).

For First Letter Z, Y, X, W, V in decreasing order.
For Number
-1,+2,-3,+4.

first place= 5.
Second place 5-1=4.
third Place 4+2=6.
Fourth Place 6-3=3.
so fifth Place will be 3+4=7.

For number position 3rd place than second-place again on 3rd place and then 2nd place in last it will be on 3rd place(3,2,3,2,3).

A, B, C, D, E in increasing order.
so the answer is VE7.

If we divide the no. series in even and odd from 1 to further next so we can see at an odd place,
No. like 5,6 are at rightmost and in ascending order so next will be VE7.i.e. ZA5, XC6, VE7.

And at even place No.like 4,3 are in middle and in descending order so we can also generate next no;

that will be U2F. And the series will be Y4B, W3D, U2F.

There are three series to look for here. The first letters are alphabetical in reverse: Z, Y, X, W, V. The second letters are in alphabetical order, beginning with A.

Second letter, fourth, sixth letter of 2series remain same. While 1, 3, 5, 7 letter of 1 series increase by one unit.

Its very simple.

Go through odd no. wise
First is 5
Second is 4
Third is 6
Fourth is 3

This means first and third is in incresing order.
Second and fourth is in decresing order.
If we go 2 one more step it will b 7 for fifth
and 2 for sixth place.

Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P
_, 4, _, 3, _, 2, _, 1, _, 0, _.


A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, k
5, _, 6, _, 7, _, 9, _,10, _, 11.

So, ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, VE7, U2F, TG9, S1H, RI10, Q0J, PK11,..

Its very simple @Sudha.
z
y
x
w
v
It is in decreasing order

a
b
c
d
e
It is in increasing order

The no's are
5
4
6
3
7
The 1st&3rd are increasing , 2nd&4th are decreasing so the next step is increasing no i.e 7.

Simple logic, look on first letters Z Y X W this series is Descending order and A B C D Ascending order,

That's why the answer should be option D (VE7) , because serious is going to like this Z Y X W V and A B C D E.
