Observe and the pattern and select the next term in the sequence:P5QR, P4QS, P3QT, _, P1QV
Correct answer: A. P2QU
- A. P2QU
- B. PQ3U2
- C. P2QUY
- D. PQ3U
Explanation
The correct answer is (a) P2QU.Explanation:The pattern in the sequence is a decrease in the number preceding the letter "P" by 1 each time, and an increment in the letter following "Q" by 1 position in the alphabet.Here's the breakdown:- P5QR -> P4QS (decrease 5 to 4, increment R to S)- P4QS -> P3QT (decrease 4 to 3, increment S to T)- P3QT -> P2QU (decrease 3 to 2, increment T to U)
