Correct Answer: GX 18


Solution : Given:
EY 14, ?, IW 20, KV 24, MU 26

For letter-based series –
Add 2 in the place value of the first letter and subtract 1 from the place value of the second letter of the previous term of the given series.
EY→E + 2 = G; Y – 1 = X→GX
GX→G + 2 = I; X – 1 = W→IW
IW→I + 2 = K; W – 1 = V→,KV
KV→K + 2 = M; V – 1 = U→MU
For number-based series –
Add 4 and 2 alternately to the previous number of the given series.
14 + 4 = 18; 18 + 2 = 20; 20 + 4 = 24; 24 + 2 = 26.

So, GX 18 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
