Which letter will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?
G, W, O, ?, E, C
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → I
Write each letter as its place in the alphabet and count backwards; going back from A continues from Z. The steps back fall by 2 each time.
G (7) back 10 places: \(7-10=-3\), that is \(26-3=23\), W
W (23) back 8 places: \(23-8=15\), O
O (15) back 6 places: \(15-6=9\), I
I (9) back 4 places gives E (5), and E back 2 places gives C (3), the last two letters
