@All.
For this type of question, first, fill the dashes of the statement.
For this, start with the most letter word with repetitive patterns like -bcaab - in this aa is repetitive.
In this word, we have aa before b so fill the right side dash with A. Next take -bbc- as I say take most with repetitive word and now look there is double b before c so fill the left the side of bcaab with B.
Now the equation becomes abca A bcaab B ca _ bbc _ a (used capital letters to make difference). Now just look that aA before b and bB before c so it becomes simple, know put A to make double aa before b and put cC ON the last dash to complete the series.
Now it becomes ABAC (abac). Also on the last dash there are some rules like you can't put a becuase no aa before c in whole statement and dose not put bb because there is no bb before a at whole statment, so the answer is abac.
