Correct Answer: RIE
Solution :
Given:
ZAM, XCK, VEI, TGG, (?)
Subtract 2 from the place value of the first and the third letter and add 2 to the place value of the second letter to get the next term in the series –
ZAM→Z – 2 = X; A + 2 = C; M – 2 = K→XCK
XCK→X – 2 = V; C + 2 = E; K – 2 = I→VEI
VEI→V – 2 = T; E + 2 = G; I – 2 = G→TGG
TGG→T – 2 = R; G + 2 = I; G – 2 = E→RIE
So, RIE is the missing term. Hence, the third option is correct.
