Question 63
MediumOriginal questionIn the series AZ, BY, CX, DV, EV, which pair does not follow the pattern?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
First letters A, B, C, D, E move forward one place: all fine.
Second letters should move back one place: Z, Y, X, W, V. The fourth pair has V instead of W.
So DV is wrong; it should be DW (D and W are opposite letters: ).
Worth noting
EV is right: E and V are opposites . Test each pair against the opposite-letter rule.
