Correct Answer:  IA 125


Solution : Given:
MY 27, KZ 64, ?, GB 216, EC 343

In the above-given series, subtract 2 from the place value of the first letter, add 1 to the place value of the second letter, and the numbers are the cube of consecutive numbers.
MY 27→MY; (3)3 = 27
MY 27→M – 2 = K; Y + 1 = Z; (4)3 = 64→KZ 64
KZ 64→K – 2 = I; Z + 1 = A; (5)3 = 125→IA 125
IA 125→I – 2 = G; A + 1 = B; (6)3 = 216→GB 216
GB 216→G – 2 = E; B + 1 = C; (7)3 = 343→EC 343

So, IA 125 is the required term of the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
