In this type of series, the set of given numbers in a series are
related to one another in a particular pattern or manner. The AZ, GT, MN, ........... , YB
relationship between the numbers may be (1) KF (2) RX
(i) consecutive odd/even numbers, (3) SH (4) TS
(ii) Consecutive prime numbers, Sol. (3) The logic is +6 and –6.
(iii) Squares/cubes of some numbers with/without variation of –6 –6 –6 –6
addition or subtraction of some number,
(iv) Sum/product/difference of preceding number(s), A Z G T M N S H YB
(v) Addition/subtraction/multiplication/division by some +6 +6 +6 +6
number, and
(vi) Many more combinations of the relationships given above.
DIRECTIONS (ILLUSTRATION 5) : In the following question,
ILLUSTRATION 1 : various terms of an alphabet series are given with one or

A-6 Mental Ability Test (MAT)

Exercise 1 12. (1) The sequence is × 2 – 1, × 2 + 3, × 2 – 5, × 2 + 7, × 2 –

9 etc.
1. (1) The rule is +11, +22, +44, +88, +176.
The next number is 81 × 2 – 9 = 153.
The next number is 178 + 176 = 354.
13. (4) The given sequence comprises of three sequences
2. (3) First letter : +2, +3, +4, +5 etc.
1, 4, 9, 16 (Square on 1, 2, 3, 4)
Second letter : –2, –3, –4, –5 etc. 2, 3, 5, 7 (Prime number series)
3. (3) +1, +2, +3, +4 in letters; +3, +5, +7, +9 in numbers. 10, 14, 18, 22 (Common difference 4)
4. (2) There is a gap of four letters between first and second, The missing number belongs to series number three,
second and third letter of each term. Also there is a so it is 18.
gap of 4 letters between the last letter of a term and the 14. (2)
first letter of the next term.
240 240 120 40 10 2
5. (4) The first letters in odd numbered terms from the series J,
I, H and in even numbered terms from the series K, L, M.
×1 ×2 ×3 ×4 ×5
The sequence followed by the numbers is +2, +3, +4, 15. (4) A A B B C C / A A B B C C / A A B B C C
+5, +6. The third letter of each term is moved two steps
backward to obtain the third letter of the next term. Therefore the required missing letters are ‘ACBA’
16. (1) C D B C/C D B C/C D B C/C D B C/C D B C
6. (4) There are two alternate series .
Therefore the required missing letters are ‘D B C D’
+1 +1 +1
17. (3) B A A B/B A A B/B A A B/B A A B/B A A B/B
B Y C X D W E V ? The proper series of missing letters are ‘A B A B B A’
–1 –1 –1 18. (3) Multiply each number in the series by 2, and then add
‘1’ to get the next number, like (16 × 2 + 1) = 33, (33 × 2
Series I : BCDE (natural order)
+ 1) = 67, and so on.
Series II : YXWV (reverse order)
19. (1) Multiply each number by ‘2’ and then deduct
7. (4) 3 = 22 – 1, 8 = 32 – 1 :
1, 2, 3, 4, .....to get the next consecutive number.
35 = 62 – 1, 48 = 72 – 1:
Like (5 × 2 – 1) = 9, (9 × 2 – 2) = 16,
2
? = 10 – 1, 120 = 112 – 1.
(16 × 2 – 3) =29 etc.
8. (2) The difference between the letters increases at each 20. (4)
step after beginning with two.
21. (1) A careful look will show that there are two series of
B D G K P V group of letters namely
+2 +3 +4 +5 +6 (i) ZYYZR, (?), XWABT
9. (4) The actual letters which are moving one step forward (ii) ABVUM, BCUTL, CDTSK
in the series are packed between B and D. In the first series, Let us see the relations of letters in
different positions.
Positions Rule (?)
BCDBD DBEDBF DBGD
I Z?X l letter backward Y
+1 +1 +1 +1 II Y ? W l letter backward X
10. (1) The series is formed by moving the letters three and III Y ? A 1 letter forward Z
one steps forward alternately. IV Z ? B – do – A
V R?T – do – S
+3 +1 +3 +1 +3 +1 +3 +1 +3 +1 +3 +1
Hence the missing letter group is YXZAS i.e it is the
answer.
11. (2) The first number 3 is multiplied by 2 to get next number 6.
The successive numbers are multiplied by 3, 4, 5, 6 etc. 22. (1) The sequence is consisting of two series.
Z, W, T, Q,.......and S, O, K, G. The logic is three steps
Hence the number next to 360 × 6 = 2160.
backward and four step backward respectively.
