In each of the following questions find out which of the letter series...
Understanding the Rule
The question asks us to identify a letter series where the number of letters skipped between adjacent letters decreases by one each time. This means that:
- The first pair of letters skips 'n' letters.
- The second pair skips 'n-1' letters.
- The third pair skips 'n-2' letters, and so on.
Analyzing the Options
Let's analyze each option to see which one fits the rule.
Option A: BHNSV
- B to H: Skips 5 letters (C, D, E, F, G)
- H to N: Skips 5 letters (I, J, K, L, M)
- N to S: Skips 4 letters (O, P, Q, R)
- S to V: Skips 2 letters (T, U)
*Not valid as the skips do not decrease properly.*
Option B: TZEIL
- T to Z: Skips 5 letters (U, V, W, X, Y)
- Z to E: Skips 4 letters (A, B, C, D)
- E to I: Skips 3 letters (F, G, H)
- I to L: Skips 2 letters (J, K)
*This option follows the rule perfectly!*
Option C: MSYBG
- M to S: Skips 5 letters (N, O, P, Q, R)
- S to Y: Skips 4 letters (T, U, V, W)
- Y to B: Skips 2 letters (Z, A)
- B to G: Skips 1 letter (C)
*Not valid as the skips do not decrease properly.*
Option D: IMTXB
- I to M: Skips 3 letters (J, K, L)
- M to T: Skips 6 letters (N, O, P, Q, R, S)
- T to X: Skips 3 letters (U, V, W)
- X to B: Skips 2 letters (Y, Z)
*Not valid as the skips do not decrease properly.*
Conclusion
Among all options, Option B (TZEIL) is the only series where the number of letters skipped between adjacent letters decreases by one each time, confirming it as the correct answer.
