Answer 1

Given: The series YXYXYZXY, YXYZXYXY, YZXYXYXY, YXYXYXZY, YXYXZYXY

To find: The next term?

Solution:

• Now we have given the series as:

              YXYXYZXY, YXYZXYXY, YZXYXYXY, YXYXYXZY, YXYXZYXY,

• Consider first three terms:

              YXYXY ZX Y, YXY ZX YXY, Y ZX YXYXY

• In this ZX is shifted back after every Y.

• Now consider the next two terms:

              YXYXY XZ Y, YXY XZ YXY

• In this the term is XZ which is shifted back after every Y, so the next term will be: YXZYXYXY

Answer:

          So the next term will be: C) YXZYXYXY
