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.

Here i got it
so the solution is
5-4,1
4+2,2
6-3,3
3+4,4
So we can see that in this series the first step is to add then to add the number in increasing order.

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.
