SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

OKGC

To solve this logical reasoning question, we need to identify the pattern in the given series: AWSO, KGCY, UQMI, EAWS, ?.

Let's examine each term in the series to find the pattern.

  1. First Term: AWSO
    • A = 1, W = 23, S = 19, O = 15
  2. Second Term: KGCY
    • K = 11, G = 7, C = 3, Y = 25
  3. Third Term: UQMI
    • U = 21, Q = 17, M = 13, I = 9
  4. Fourth Term: EAWS
    • E = 5, A = 1, W = 23, S = 19

Now, let's analyze the differences in the alphabetical positions of the corresponding letters:

  • The first letters: A (1), K (11), U (21), E (5). The pattern here is: +10, +10, -16 (cyclic). For the missing term, the first letter will be O (15): +10 from E (5).
  • The second letters: W (23), G (7), Q (17), A (1). The pattern here looks like: -16, +10, -16 (cyclic). For the missing term, it will be K (11): -16 from A (1).
  • The third letters: S (19), C (3), M (13), W (23). The pattern seems to follow: -16, +10, +10 (cyclic). For the missing term, it will be G (7): -16 from W (23).
  • The fourth letters: O (15), Y (25), I (9), S (19). The pattern here consists of: +10, -16, +10 (cyclic). For the missing term, it will be C (3): -16 from S (19).

Therefore, the term that completes the pattern is OKGC.

So, the correct option is: OKGC
