⚡ Quick Shortcut Trick

Observe the first letters as an increasing sequence (A, C, E, G → +2) and the second letters as a decreasing sequence (Z, X, V, T → -2).

📊 Diagram / Illustration
ALPHABETICAL CLUSTER SERIES: AZ, CX, EV, GT, ? GIVEN PATTERN ANALYSIS 1st Letter 2nd Letter Logic A → C → E → G Z → X → V → T +2 / -2 NEXT: I NEXT: R APPLY PATTERN TO 'GT' G + 2 = I T - 2 = R I R FINAL ANSWER: IR
🧩 Logic Steps
1

Analyze the first letter of each cluster

The first letters follow a pattern of skipping one letter: A (+2) → C (+2) → E (+2) → G (+2) → I. The next letter is I.

2

Analyze the second letter of each cluster

The second letters follow a pattern of reverse alphabetical movement: Z (-2) → X (-2) → V (-2) → T (-2) → R. The next letter is R.

🚫 Why Other Options Are Wrong

B: IS is incorrect because the second letter must be T-2 = R, not S. C: HS is incorrect as it violates both the +2 first-letter rule and the -2 second-letter rule. D: HR is incorrect because the first letter must be G+2 = I, not H.

✅

A is correct because the series follows a consistent +2 progression for the first letter (A, C, E, G, I) and a -2 progression for the second letter (Z, X, V, T, R).

💡 EXAM TIP

For alphabetical series, always write the numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) on your rough sheet; it reduces mental calculation errors significantly in time-pressured exams.
