Correct Answer: YG 81


Solution : Given:
UC 169, WE 121, ?, AI 49, CK 25

Add 2 to the place value of each letter, and identify the square of odd numbers in reverse order to get the next term –
UC 169 ⇒ U + 2 = W; C + 2 = E; 13 2 = 169; 11 2 = 121→WE 121
WE 121 ⇒ W + 2 = Y; E + 2 = G; 11 2 = 121; 9 2 = 81→YG 81
YG 81 ⇒ Y + 2 = A; G + 2 = I; 9 2 = 81; 7 2 = 49→AI 49
AI 49 ⇒ A + 2 = C; I + 2 = K; 7 2 = 49; 5 2 = 25→CK 25

So, the missing term is YG 81. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
