continuous pattern series Detailed Explanation And More Example

Answer: (c)

The series is abc/b/bca/c/cab/a/abc/b.

Answer: (a)

The series is bbcca/ccaab/aabbc/bbcca.

Answer: (a)

From the alternatives, it is clear that the series can be divided into groups of 4 terms each _ each group comprising of two numbers followed by two letters, as shown below:

2 3 B _ / 6 _ F G / _ 5 D _ / 8 _ H I

Clearly, the first number in each group represents the position of the letter in the third place, in the English alphabet.

Thus, the third missing term is the number corresponding to the position of D in the English alphabet

i.e. 4, which is given in (a).

Substituting other terms of (a) into the series, we get

2 3 B C / 6 7 F G / 4 5 D E / 8 9 H I

Observe that the second number in each group represents the position of the letter in the fourth place, in the English alphabet.

Answer: (d)

The series is abcbc/bcaca/cabab.

Thus, the series consists of three sequences. The first sequence begins with a, the second with b, and the third with c. Each sequence consists of a letter followed by the pair of other two letters repeated twice.

Answer: (b)

The series is ca/ccaa/cccaaa/ccccaaaa.

Answer: (c)

The series is aaa/bbbb/cccc/dddd/cccc/bbbb/a.
