Question

In this following questions, various terms of the letter series are given with one term missing as shown by (?). Choose the missing term out of the given alternative.Q.dfe,jih,mln, ___,vuta)oqp b)psr c)prq  d)rsp Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

The given letter series is formed by alternating between the letters in the English alphabet. The first term 'd' is followed by the fourth letter 'e', then the sixth letter 'f', and so on. Similarly, the second term 'j' is followed by the ninth letter 'i', then the eleventh letter 'h', and so on.

To find the missing term, we need to continue the same pattern of alternating between the letters in the English alphabet. The next letter after 'm' is 'n', so the missing term should be the thirteenth letter after 'n', which is 'r'.

Therefore, the missing term in the given letter series is 'prq', which is option (c).

Answer

The given letter series is formed by taking every third letter in alphabetical order and reversing the order of the letters in each group of three.

Explanation:

- The first group of three letters is formed by taking the third letter in alphabetical order, i.e., D, F, H.
- The second group of three letters is formed by taking the third letter after H, i.e., J, I, L.
- Similarly, the third group is formed by taking the third letter after L, i.e., M, N, P.
- The fourth group should be formed by taking the third letter after P, i.e., Q, R, U.
- However, in the given series, the fourth group is missing and we need to find the missing term.
- The fifth group is formed by taking the third letter after U, i.e., V, U, T.

Therefore, the missing term should be the third letter after P, which is R.

Hence, the correct answer is option C) PRQ.

Answer

The given letter series is formed by skipping one letter between two letters in alphabetical order and then reversing the order of the letters.

- The first term is 'dfe'. Here, we skip one letter between 'd' and 'f' and reverse the order to get 'dfe'.
- The second term is 'jih'. Here, we skip one letter between 'j' and 'l' and reverse the order to get 'jih'.
- The third term is 'mln'. Here, we skip one letter between 'm' and 'o' and reverse the order to get 'mln'.
- The fourth term is missing and we need to find it.
- The fifth term is 'vut'. Here, we skip one letter between 'v' and 'x' and reverse the order to get 'vut'.

To find the missing term, we need to skip one letter between two letters in alphabetical order and then reverse the order of the letters.

- Option A: 'oqp' - Skipping one letter between 'o' and 'q' and reversing the order gives 'poq', which is not the same as the given series.
- Option B: 'psr' - Skipping one letter between 'p' and 'r' and reversing the order gives 'rsp', which is the same as the next term in the series.
- Option C: 'prq' - Skipping one letter between 'p' and 'r' and reversing the order gives 'rqp', which is not the same as the given series.
- Option D: 'rsp' - Skipping one letter between 'r' and 't' and reversing the order gives 'psr', which is not the same as the given series.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, 'prq'.

Answer

So it's a puzzle,For solving this Take all alphabet's and Number them like A=1,B=2.....Z=26 So in first case you'll get (1) D+E+F=15 (2)H+I+J= 27 (3)L+M+N= 39 (4)P+Q+R= 51 (5)T+U+V= 63 So as you see in all these cases the difference is 12 so option C is correct
