A = WMSHD- DSHWM
Here,
WMSHD divide it into two parts i.e., WM and SHD
Now, in second part move the last letter in front and so on, i.e, DSH
Now put second part before the first part i.e., DSHWM
Similarly in E = BWIKG – GIKBW
Here, divide it into two parts i.e., BW and IKG
Now, in second part move the last letter in front and soo on i.e., GIK
Further, shift the second part before first part ie., GIKBW
Question 27: Given below is a question by two statement, l and ll each containing some information . Decide which of the statement (s) is/are sufficient to answer the question.

- Udw
- Ojq
- Jpm
- fsh
Solution :Option 3
AXC = 1 letter gap between 1st and 3rd letter
CVE = 1 letter gap between 1st and 3rd letter
FSH = 1 letter gap between 1st and 3rd letter
OYQ = 1 letter gap between 1st and 3rd letter
UDW = 1 letter gap between 1st and 3rd letter
JPM= no pattern like above words.
Hence JPM is the wrong term in the series.
