- Q
- O
Correct answer: P
4th to the left of M is I (M=13, 13-4=9=I). 7th to the right of I is P (9+7=16=P).
Question 2: Find the missing term: Z, X, V, T, R, ?
- Q
- P (Correct answer)
- O
- N
Correct answer: P
Every letter decreases by 2 positions: Z(26)→X(24)→V(22)→T(20)→R(18)→P(16).
Question 3: What letter comes next in the series: A, C, F, J, O, ?
- T
- U (Correct answer)
- V
- S
Correct answer: U
The gaps between letters increase by 1 each time: +2 (A→C), +3 (C→F), +4 (F→J), +5 (J→O), so the next gap is +6, giving O→U.
Question 4: What comes next in the series: AZ, BY, CX, DW, ?
- EV (Correct answer)
- FU
- EU
- FV
Correct answer: EV
The first letter increments forward (A, B, C, D, E…) while the second letter decrements backward (Z, Y, X, W, V…), giving EV.
Question 5: Complete the series: B, D, G, K, P, ?
- U
- V (Correct answer)
- W
- X
Correct answer: V
Gaps increase by 1: +2(B→D), +3(D→G), +4(G→K), +5(K→P), +6(P→V).
Question 6: Which letter is the odd one out: M, P, S, W, V?
- M
- W
- V (Correct answer)
- P
Correct answer: V
M(13), P(16), S(19), W(23) each increase by 3. V(22) does not fit—W should follow S (+3 each time), and V breaks the pattern.
