- IW
- MV
- QU
- ST
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Observe the first letters. \[ C,E,G,I,K,M,O,Q,S \] The first letters should increase by 2 positions each time.
Step 2: Observe the second letters. \[ Z,Y,X,W,V,U,T \] The second letters decrease by 1 position successively.
Step 3: Find the mismatch. After IW, the next term should be KV, not MV. Therefore, MV breaks the pattern. \[ \boxed{MV} \]
