Question (English)

Which of the four options will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?
UE 88, VG 84, WI 80, XK 76, ?

  1. ZM 72
  2. ZN 71
  3. YN 73
  4. YM 72 ✓ Correct
Explanation:

Let's analyze the pattern of the given alphanumeric series: UE 88, VG 84, WI 80, XK 76, ?

The series consists of three parts: the first letter, the second letter, and the number.

  1. First Letter Series: U, V, W, X, ...
    • $U + 1 = V$
    • $V + 1 = W$
    • $W + 1 = X$
    • Next: $X + 1 = Y$
  2. Second Letter Series: E, G, I, K, ...
    • $E (5) + 2 = G (7)$
    • $G (7) + 2 = I (9)$
    • $I (9) + 2 = K (11)$
    • Next: $K (11) + 2 = M (13)$
  3. Number Series: 88, 84, 80, 76, ...
    • $88 - 4 = 84$
    • $84 - 4 = 80$
    • $80 - 4 = 76$
    • Next: $76 - 4 = 72$

Combining all three parts, we get YM 72.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

निम्नलिखित श्रृंखला में प्रश्न चिह्न (?) के स्थान पर चार विकल्पों में से कौन सा विकल्प आएगा?
UE 88, VG 84, WI 80, XK 76, ?

  1. ZM 72
  2. ZN 71
  3. YN 73
  4. YM 72
स्पष्टीकरण:

आइए दी गई श्रृंखला UE 88, VG 84, WI 80, XK 76, ? के पैटर्न का विश्लेषण करें।

इस श्रृंखला में तीन भाग हैं: पहला अक्षर, दूसरा अक्षर और संख्या।

  1. पहले अक्षर की श्रृंखला: U, V, W, X, ...
    • $U + 1 = V$
    • $V + 1 = W$
    • $W + 1 = X$
    • अगला: $X + 1 = Y$
  2. दूसरे अक्षर की श्रृंखला: E, G, I, K, ...
    • $E (5) + 2 = G (7)$
    • $G (7) + 2 = I (9)$
    • $I (9) + 2 = K (11)$
    • अगला: $K (11) + 2 = M (13)$
  3. संख्या श्रृंखला: 88, 84, 80, 76, ...
    • $88 - 4 = 84$
    • $84 - 4 = 80$
    • $80 - 4 = 76$
    • अगला: $76 - 4 = 72$

तीनों भागों को मिलाने पर, सही उत्तर YM 72 प्राप्त होता है।
