Which of the following terms follows the trend of the given list?
ZWZWZWXY, ZWZWZYXY, ZWZWXYXY, ZWZYXYXY, ZWXYXYXY, _____________
- AXYXYXYXY
- BZYXYXYXY
- CZWZWZWXY
- DZWZWZYXY
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the shifting pattern in the strings:
ZWZWZWXY
ZWZWZYXY (The 6th character 'W' changes to 'Y')
ZWZWXYXY (The 5th character 'Z' changes to 'X')
ZWZYXYXY (The 4th character 'W' changes to 'Y')
ZWXYXYXY (The 3rd character 'Z' changes to 'X')
Following this alternating pattern of changing 'W' → 'Y' and 'Z' → 'X' from right to left:
The next step will change the 2nd character 'W' to 'Y'.
So, ZWXYXYXY becomes ZYXYXYXY.
