To solve this question, let's analyze the given series: FLP, INS, LPV.

1. First, let's look at the position of the letters in each term:
- In the first term, "FLP," the letters are in positions 6, 12, and 16.
- In the second term, "INS," the letters are in positions 9, 14, and 19.
- In the third term, "LPV," the letters are in positions 12, 16, and 22.

2. Now, let's observe the pattern:
- The position of the first letter in each term increases by 3 each time: 6, 9, 12.
- The position of the second letter in each term increases by 2 each time: 12, 14, 16.
- The position of the third letter in each term increases by 3 each time: 16, 19, 22.

3. Based on this pattern, we can determine the missing element:
- The position of the fourth letter should increase by 2 from the last term, which is 22.
- So, the position of the missing letter would be 24 (22 + 2).

4. Now, let's find the corresponding letter to position 24 in the alphabet:
- The letter at position 24 in the alphabet is "X."

Therefore, the missing element in the series FLP, INS, LPV is "X."

Now let's check the options:
a) ORY: This option does not follow the pattern.
b) UXZ: This option matches the missing element "X."
c) VXY: This option does not match the missing element "X."
d) SVW: This option does not match the missing element "X."

Hence, the correct answer is option 'b' - UXZ.

Directions: Choose the appropriate number which follow the given pattern.
  • a)
    598
  • b)
    597
  • c)
    596
  • d)
    599
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

5 × 2 – 1 = 9;
9 × 2 + 1 = 19
19 × 2 – 1 = 37
37 × 2 + 1 = 75
75 × 2 – 1 = 149
149 × 2 + 1 = 299 
299 × 2 – 1 = 597

Look carefully for the pattern, and then choose which pair of numbers comes next: 
9 11 33 13 15 33 17
  • a)
    19 33
  • b)
    33 35
  • c)
    33 19
  • d)
    15 19
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushant Joshi answered
Pattern Analysis:

The given pattern is a combination of letters and numbers. Each letter is assigned a number based on its position in the English alphabet. For example, A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, and so on. The numbers are then multiplied by 3 to get the corresponding number in the pattern.

P = 16 x 3 = 48, C = 3 x 3 = 9, P3C

R = 18 x 3 = 54, F = 6 x 3 = 18, R5F

T = 20 x 3 = 60, I = 9 x 3 = 27, T8I

V = 22 x 3 = 66, L = 12 x 3 = 36, V12L

Based on this pattern, we can find the missing element by continuing the sequence.

Solution:

X = 24 x 3 = 72, O = 15 x 3 = 45, X17O

Therefore, the missing element in the sequence is X17O. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The given series follows the pattern 5 × 1 = 5, 5 × 2 = 10, 5 × 3 = 15, 5 
× 4 = 20 5 × 5 = 25, 5 × 6 = 30
so, 34 is wrong number.

Tanishq Basu answered
Understanding the Series
The series provided is: ba____ba____bac____acb____cbaca
To determine the correct option, we need to analyze the patterns within the series.
Identifying the Pattern
- The series begins with "ba" and then has segments that gradually build upon this foundation.
- Each segment appears to include the letters 'b', 'a', and 'c' in varying sequences.
Breaking Down the Segments
- The first segment is "ba".
- The second segment starts with "ba" and adds another "ba", indicating a repetition.
- The third segment, "bac", introduces 'c' to the mix.
- The fourth segment, "acb", rearranges these letters further.
- The fifth segment, "cbaca", continues this trend by expanding the sequence.
Filling the Blanks
- Looking at the options provided:
- aacbb
- bbcac
- ccbad
- cbac
- The option "aacbb" logically fits into the series following the established pattern, as it uses the letters 'a', 'b', and 'c' in a consistent manner.
Conclusion
- The correct answer is option 'C': aacbb.
- This option maintains the rhythm and structure seen in the previous segments of the series, adhering to the letter combinations and their sequence.
By recognizing the patterns and the structure of the segments, we can confidently determine the continuity of the series.

Abhiram Desai answered
The missing element in the given sequence Z, U, Q, ?, L is 'N'.

Explanation:
To find the missing element, we need to observe the pattern or rule followed in the given sequence.

1. Reverse order: The sequence starts with Z and then goes to U, Q, ?, and finally L. We can observe that the sequence is moving backwards in the alphabetical order.

2. Skipping letters: The sequence is skipping letters in a pattern. From Z to U, there is a skip of 3 letters (V, W, X). From U to Q, there is a skip of 4 letters (R, S, T, U). From Q to the missing element, there is a skip of 5 letters (R, S, T, U, V). From the missing element to L, there is a skip of 1 letter (M).

3. Putting it all together: Based on the above observations, we can conclude that the missing element should be 5 letters before L in reverse alphabetical order.

Starting from L and moving 5 letters backwards, we get N. Therefore, the missing element in the sequence Z, U, Q, ?, L is N.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - N.
