Question
What comes next? MZM, PXK, SVI, ?
- A. VTG (Correct answer)
- B. USF
- C. WTG
- D. XRE
Correct Answer
Option A — VTG
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is VTG.
Key Points
- Track each letter stream numerically:
- 1st letters: M(13) → P(16) → S(19) — +3 each time → next is V(22)
- 2nd letters: Z(26) → X(24) → V(22) — −2 each time → next is T(20)
- 3rd letters: M(13) → K(11) → I(9) — −2 each time → next is G(7)
- The next term is VTG.
- Mixed-direction series (one stream rising, others falling) are why each position must be tracked independently rather than eyeballing the clusters whole.
