A27Z, C5B, E9D, __, __
The logic followed here is :
A27Z ⇒ A → (-1 ) → Z & A = 1, Z = 26 ⇒ 1 + 26 = 27
C5B ⇒ C → (-1 ) → B & C = 3, B = 2 ⇒ 3 + 2= 5
E9D ⇒ E → (-1 ) → D & E = 5, D = 4 ⇒ 5 + 4= 9
Similarly :
G13F ⇒ G → (-1 ) → F & G = 7, F = 6 ⇒ 7 + 6= 13
I17H ⇒ I → (-1 ) → H & I= 9, H = 8 ⇒ 9 + 8 = 17
Therfore, G13F, I17H is the correct answer.
