Question (English)

Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series.
P _ A A _ _ Z A _ V _ _ A _ _

  1. ZVPAPZAV ✓ Correct
  2. ZPVVAPVZ
  3. VZAAPVPZ
  4. VPZZPVAP
Explanation:

Pattern Identification:

  • Count the total number of characters (including blanks). There are 15 positions.
  • Let's try dividing the series into groups of 5 letters each: $15 \div 5 = 3$ groups.

Grouping:

  • Group 1: P _ A A _
  • Group 2: _ Z A _ V
  • Group 3: _ _ A _ _

Filling the Blanks:

By observing the filled positions in each group, we can deduce the repeating pattern is PZAAV.

  • Group 1: Needs 2nd and 5th letters. Pattern P Z A A V → Fills Z, V.
  • Group 2: Needs 1st and 4th letters. Pattern P Z A A V → Fills P, A.
  • Group 3: Needs 1st, 2nd, and 5th letters. Pattern P Z A A V → Fills P, Z, V. Wait, let's re-check the blanks in the question text specifically against Option 1.

Verification with Option 1 (ZVPAPZAV):

Placing letters Z, V, P, A, P, Z, A, V into the blanks:

  • P Z A A V (First 5)
  • P Z A A V (Next 5)
  • P Z A A V (Last 5)

The series becomes a perfect repetition of PZAAV.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

अक्षरों के उस संयोजन का चयन करें जिसे दी गई श्रृंखला के रिक्त स्थानों में क्रमिक रूप से रखने पर श्रृंखला पूरी हो जाएगी।
P _ A A _ _ Z A _ V _ _ A _ _

  1. ZVPAPZAV
  2. ZPVVAPVZ
  3. VZAAPVPZ
  4. VPZZPVAP
स्पष्टीकरण:

पैटर्न की पहचान:

  • श्रृंखला में कुल 15 स्थान (रिक्त स्थानों सहित) हैं।
  • इसे 5-5 अक्षरों के समूहों में विभाजित करने पर हमें 3 समूह मिलते हैं।

समूहीकरण:

  • समूह 1: P _ A A _
  • समूह 2: _ Z A _ V
  • समूह 3: _ _ A _ _

रिक्त स्थान भरना:

तीनों समूहों को देखने पर पता चलता है कि दोहराया जाने वाला पैटर्न PZAAV है।

विकल्प 1 (ZVPAPZAV) के साथ जाँच:

अक्षरों Z, V, P, A, P, Z, A, V को रिक्त स्थानों में रखने पर:

  • P Z A A V (पहला समूह)
  • P Z A A V (दूसरा समूह)
  • P Z A A V (तीसरा समूह)

यह एक पूर्ण श्रृंखला बनाता है।
