Observe the two positions independently: the first letter follows a +2 forward pattern (A, C, E, G) while the second follows a -2 backward pattern (Z, X, V, T).
Observe the two positions independently: the first letter follows a +2 forward pattern (A, C, E, G) while the second follows a -2 backward pattern (Z, X, V, T).
Analyze First Letter Pattern
The first letters are A (1), C (3), E (5). The rule is +2. So, the next letter is 5 + 2 = 7, which is G.
Analyze Second Letter Pattern
The second letters are Z (26), X (24), V (22). The rule is -2. So, the next letter is 22 - 2 = 20, which is T.
Combine Results
Combining the calculated first letter (G) and the second letter (T) results in the pair GT.
B: GS is incorrect as the second letter must be T, not S. C: FU is incorrect as the first letter must be G and the second T. D: HT is incorrect as the first letter must be G, not H.
A is correct because the first alphabet follows the sequence A(+2) → C(+2) → E(+2) → G, and the second alphabet follows Z(-2) → X(-2) → V(-2) → T.
For alphabet series, always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) to visualize the gap/difference quickly.
