  1. E7V

  2. V2E

  3. VE5

  4. VE7

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern has three components: first letters go backward (Z, Y, X, W, V), numbers alternate descending (5, 4, 6, 3, 7), last letters alternate (A, B, D, E). Following this: V + 7 + E = VE7.

AI explanation

To solve this question, we need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the given sequence of letters and numbers. Let's analyze the given sequence:

ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, _____

Looking at the pattern, we can observe the following:

  1. The first letter of each group is in reverse alphabetical order (Z, Y, X, W).
  2. The second letter of each group follows the alphabetical order (A, B, C, D).
  3. The number in each group is in sequential order (5, 4, 6, 3).
  4. The third letter of each group is the same (A, B, C, D).

Based on these observations, we can deduce that the pattern is as follows:

  • The first letter of each group is in reverse alphabetical order.
  • The second letter of each group follows the alphabetical order.
  • The number in each group decreases by 1.
  • The third letter remains the same.

Using this pattern, we can determine the missing term in the sequence:

ZA5, Y4B, XC6, W3D, _____

By applying the pattern, the next term should be V2E.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) V2E.
