 SOLUTION
1. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. klno. 7. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. WB.
Logic: The set 'jklmno' is getting repeated.
Option 4: klno
jklmno/jklmno/jklmno/jklmno/jklmno

2. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. OPUS.

G + 2 = I, I + 2 = K, K + 2 = M, M+ 2 = O 8. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. edff.
X – 2 = V, V – 2 = T, T – 2 = R, R – 2 = P Given Sequence:
M + 2 = O, O + 2 = Q, Q + 2 = S, S + 2 = U cd_fc_efcdef cde _cde fcde _cd ef
A – 2 = Y, Y – 2 = W, W – 2 = U, U – 2 = S edff  cdef/cdef/cdef/cdef/cdef/cdef/cdef
Thus, pattern of 'edff' is followed.
3. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. RBN.
Given series: FNV, LUE, ?, XIW, DPF 9. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. TWF.
The series follows this pattern:
FNV, LUE
F+6=L
N+7=U
V+9=E
Similarly;
LUE, ? 10. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. JNP.
L+6=R Given series: NRT, MQS, LPR, KOQ, ?
U+7=B
N – 1 = M, M - 1 = L, L – 1 = K, K – 1 = J
E+9=N
R – 1 = Q, Q – 1 = P, P – 1 = O, O – 1 = N
So, the missing term in the series is RBN.
T – 1 = S, S – 1 = R, R – 1 = Q, Q – 1 = P
Hence, RBN is the correct answer.
11. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e.
4. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. AYS.
mqqnnrpmqp.
Given series: UME, OPG, ISJ, EVN,?

_np_rr_p_mm_pq_rq_nm_up_rr q_nm
M + 3 = P; P + 3 = S; S + 3 = V; V + 3 = Y
Option (a): m q q n n r p m q p
E + 2 = G; G + 3 = J; J + 4 = N; N + 5 = S
mnpqrrqpnm/mnpqrrqpnm/
m n p q r r q pnm
5. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. FMV.
Option (a) forms a particular pattern.

12. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. NKMEZ.

CNEF / HNEK / MNEP / RNEU / WNEZ.
This follows a pattern of letter NE in the middle
6. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. SUO. and 1st letter + 3 = 4th letter
YAU, DFZ, IKE, NPJ, ?
13. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. JAVBE.
GAJB / MAPB / SAVB / YABB / EAHB
Thus, JAVBE follows the pattern of:
1st letter + 3 = 3rd letter, 2nd letter + 1 = 4th letter
14. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. ZUOEZ. T + 2 = V, V + 2 = X, X + 2 = Z, Z + 2 = B
Given series: CB_W V_SP _NLI HG_B A_XU O + 0 = O, O + 0 = O, O + 0 = O, O + 0 = O
CBZW / VUSP / ONLI / HGEB /AZXU. Hence, the correct answer is YNZO.
ZUOEZ will complete the series as it follows a
pattern of: 20. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. Q
1st letter – 1 = 2nd letter, 3rd letter – 3 = 4th letter Given series: ?, N, K, H, E, B
Q – 3 = N, N – 3 = K, K – 3 = H, H – 3 = E,
15. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. MJG. E–3=B
Given series: SLE, CXS, ?, WVU, GHI Hence, the correct answer is Q.
The series follows this pattern:
S + 10 = C, C + 10 = M, M + 10 = W, W + 10 = G 21. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. DHXT.
L + 12 = X, X + 12 = J, J + 12 = V, V + 12 = H Given Series: NRHD, RVLH, VZPL, ZDTP, ?
E + 14 = S, S + 14 = G, G + 14 = U, U + 14 = I N + 4 = R, R + 4 = V, V + 4 = Z, Z + 4 = D
So, the missing term in the series is MJG. R + 4 = V, V + 4 = Z, Z + 4 = D, D + 4 = H
H + 4 = L, L + 4 = P, P + 4 = T, T + 4 = X
16. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. YWZ. D + 4 = H, H + 4 = L, L + 4 = P, P + 4 = T
Given series: ECF, JHK, OMP, TRU, ? So, the next term is DHXT.
E + 5 = J, J + 5 = O, O + 5 = T, T + 5 = Y Hence, the correct answer is DHXT.
C + 5 = H, H + 5 = M, M + 5 = R, R + 5 = W
F + 5 = K, K + 5 = P, P + 5 = U, U + 5 = Z 22. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. sssu.
So, the next term in the series is YWZ. Given series:
r_tuvrstuvr_tuvrstuvrstuvr_tuvrstuvrst_v
17. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. xxwz. Option (c): sssu
The sequence is: xxwz rstuv /rstuv / rstuv /rstuv / rstuv / rstuv /
Given sequence: rstuv / rstuv.
w w x x y y z z w w x _ y y z z w w _ x y y z z _w This follows the logic.
xxyy_z Hence, the correct answer is sssu.
Option (a): xxwz
wwxxyyzz/wwxxyyzz/wwxxyyzz/ 23. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. RVX.
wwxxyyzz Given series: NRT, OSU, PTV, QUW, ?
The series follows this pattern:
18. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. PUX. N + 1 = O, O + 1 = P, P + 1 = Q, Q + 1 = R
Given series: HMP, JOR, LQT, NSV,? R + 1 = S, S + 1 = T, T + 1 = U, U +1 = V
The series follows this pattern: T + 1 = U, U + 1 = V, V + 1 = W, W + 1 = X
H + 2 = J, J + 2 = L, L + 2 = N, N + 2 = P So, the next term in the series is RVX.
M + 2 = O, O + 2 = Q, Q + 2 = S, S + 2 = U Hence, the correct answer is RVX.
P + 2 = R, R + 2 = T, T + 2 = V, V + 2 = X
So, the next term in the series is PUX. 24. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. xyxz.
Hence, the correct answer is PUX. The sequence is: xy xz
Given sequence:
19. (c) The correct answer is option 3 i.e. YNZO x x _ y y y y z z z z z x x x y y y _ z z z z z z x x _ y yy

N + 0 = N, N + 0 = N, N + 0 = N, N + O = N yzzzzz
 Option (a) forms a particular pattern. 28. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e FKR
Hence, the correct answer is xyxz. Given series: CHO, DIP, EJQ, ?
C + 1 = D, D + 1 = E, E + 1 = F
25. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. UY. H + 1 = I, I + 1 = J, J + 1 = K
MQ, SO, QU, WS, ? O + 1 = P, P + 1 = Q, Q + 1 = R
