    Reasoning and General Intelligence

    -Series

    series is called ‘term’. We have to analyse the pattern


    A series is a sequence of numbers/alphabetical letters and find the missing term or next term to continue the
    or both which follow a particular rule. Each element of pattern.
    Types of series are explained in the following chart:

    21, 34, ?, 89, 144


    (a) 43 (b) 55 (c) 64 (d) 71
    Sol. (b) Each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.
    21+34 = 55
    34 + 55 = 89
    55 + 89=144
    (III) To find the wrong term in the series:
    EXAMPLE6. Find the wrong term in the series 3, 8, 15, 24, 34, 48, 63.
    (a) 15 (b) 15 (c) 34 (d) 63
    2 2 2 2 2
    Sol. (c) 2 - 1, 3 - 1, 4 - 1, 5 - 1, 6 - 1
    EXAMPLES ON ALPHABETIC SERIES
    EXAMPLE7. What will come in place of question mark in the following series?
    G, H, J, M, ?
    (a) R (b) S (c) Q (d) P
    Sol. (c) G H J M Q

    +1 +2 +3 +4
    EXAMPLE8. What will come in place of question mark in the following series? BF,CH,? HO,LT
    (a) FG (b) EK (c) CE (d) FJ
    Sol.
    (b) +2 +3 +4 +5

    BF CH EK HO LT

    +1 +2 +3 +4
    EXAMPLES ON ALPHA-NUMERIC SERIES
    EXAMPLE9. What will come in place of question mark in the following series?
    K 1, M 3, P 5, T 7, ?
    (a) Y 9 (b) Y 11 (c) V 9 (d) V 11
    Sol. (a) Alphabets follow the sequence
    K M P T Y

    +2 +3 +4 +5
    And numbers are increasing by 2

    EXAMPLES ON MIXED SERIES


    EXAMPLE10. Complete the series
    Z,L,X,J,V,H,T,F, __ ,__
    (a) D,R (b) R,D (c) D, D (d) R,R

    (ii) L, J, H, F, __ Both consisting of alternate letters in the reverse order.


    ∴ Next term of (i) series = R, and
    Next term of (ii) series = D

    EXAMPLE11. What will come in place of question mark in the following series?
    7, 5, 26, 17, 63, 37, 124, 65, ?, ?
    (a) 101,215 (b) 101, 101
    (c) 215, 101 (d) 215, 215
    Sol. (c) The given series consists of two series
    (i) 7,26,63,124....
    (ii) 5,17,37,65...
    In the first series,
    7 = 23 - 1, 26 = 33 - 1, 63 = 43 – 1, 124 = 53 -1, ∴ 63 – 1 = 215
    and in the second series.
    5=22+ 1,17 = 42+l,
    37 = 62 + 1,65 = 82 + 1,
    ∴ 102+1 = 101

    EXAMPLES ON LETTER SERIES


    EXAMPLE 12. Which sequence of letters when placed at the blanks one after another will complete the given letter
    series?
