šŸ“˜ Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Pattern Analysis



The series contains three independent patterns working simultaneously:




  • First Letter Pattern: The first letter of each term moves backward through the alphabet.

    Z, Y, X, W, ... → The next two letters are V and U.


  • Second Letter Pattern: The second letter of each term moves forward through the alphabet.

    A, B, C, D, ... → The next two letters are E and F.


  • Number (Subscript) Pattern: The number alternates between subtraction and addition, with the amount increasing by 1 each time.

    5 (-1) → 4 (+2) → 6 (-3) → 3

    Following this, the next two operations must be +4 and -5:

    • 3 + 4 = 7

    • 7 - 5 = 2


    The next two numbers are 7 and 2.




Constructing the Next Terms


By combining the results from the three patterns, we can build the next two terms in the series:



  1. Term 5: V (from pattern 1), E (from pattern 2), 7 (from pattern 3) → V7E

  2. Term 6: U (from pattern 1), F (from pattern 2), 2 (from pattern 3) → U2F



Final Answer: The correct option is C. V₇E and Uā‚‚F
