Answer: A
2

The series is representing the values of 12, 112, 1112, 11112. Hence, the next value would be
111112 = 123454321, so option (a) is the answer.

What is the next term in the following series?

ZYXWTSRQNMLK
A] I
B] G
C] H

Answer: C
4

The given series starts with the last 4 alphabets of the English language and then gives a break
of 2 alphabets, followed by the next four alphabets and so on. Hence, the next term in the
series would be H (after skipping J and I). So option (c) is the answer.

Which of the following will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following sequence?
16D7, 18G10, 21KI4, 25P19, ?
A] 30V20
B] 30V25
C] 30V24
D] 29V25

Answer: B
10

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. There are three series in the sequence. The numbers to
the left of the letter— 16, 18, 21, 25 are increasing continuously by 1 more than the previous
increase, i.e., the series of increases in these numbers are + 2, + 3, + 4 and the next number
should be + 5; thus 25 + 5 = 30.

The letters DGKP form a series where 2, 3 and 4 letters are skipped every time. Hence, the next
letter would be V. Similarly, 7, 10, 14, 19 would give 25 as the next term. Thus, the correct
answer would be 30V25 option (b).
