Q2
MULTIPLE CHOICE
J H F D ?
Answer: B
Here the series consists of alternate letters in reverse order.
⇒ D – 2 = B
∴ Next letter will be B.
Hence, option (b).
Q3
MULTIPLE CHOICE
B J M, D M Q, F P U
Answer: C
Here, 1st, 2nd and 3rd letters of each term are moved two, three and four steps forward respectively to obtain the corresponding term.
∴ The next set of terms will be:
F + 2 = H
P + 3 = S
U + 4 = Y
Hence, option (c).
Q4
MULTIPLE CHOICE
E G J N ?
Answer: D
Here, 2nd, 3rd and 4th letters are moved 2, 3 and 4 steps forward respectively.
∴ Next letter will be N + 5 = S.
Hence, option (d).
Q5
MULTIPLE CHOICE
E, GH, JKL, ? , STUV
Answer: B
The number of letters in the terms increases by 1 in each subsequent term.
Each term consists of letters in alphabetic order.
The last letter of each term and the first letter of the next term are alternate.
∴ The missing term is NOPQ.
Hence, option (b).
Q6
MULTIPLE CHOICE
P Q O R N ?
Answer: A
The pattern here is +1, -2, +3, -4 and so on.
∴ Missing term is N + 5 = S.
Alternately,
P, O, N and so on, i.e., reverse order
There are two series here, Q, R and so on
∴ The missing term is S.
Hence, option (a).
