Question

Choose the missing item in the series:
CDFG, IJLM, OPRS,_____,ABDE

• A. UWYZ
• B. TUVW
• C. UVXY
• D. STUV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem of finding the missing item in the series: CDFG, IJLM, OPRS, _____, ABDE, we need to identify the pattern or rule governing the series. Let's analyze the series step-by-step:

1. First Term: CDFG
   The sequence of letters is: C, D, F, G.
2. Second Term: IJLM
   The sequence of letters is: I, J, L, M.
3. Third Term: OPRS
   The sequence of letters is: O, P, R, S.
4. Pattern Observation:
   - If we observe the third term (OPRS) and the previous two terms (CDFG, IJLM), there is a consistent pattern in the advancement of alphabets.
5. Analysis and Pattern: Consistent Alphabetical Distance
   - In each term, there is a similar gap between consecutive letters. For example, in CDFG: C to D (1 step), D to F (2 steps), F to G (1 step). Similarly for IJLM and OPRS.
   - The pattern is identified by the increment between letters increasing by one step when moving from one sequence to the next.
6. Fourth Term: Finding Corresponding Letters
   To find the missing term, we predict what logically comes between OPRS and ABDE using a similar distance pattern:
   • From O to A is 11 steps forward. Therefore, starting the next term from 'U' continues the sequence.
   • Increase by one letter for subsequent characters continuing from 'U', resulting in U, V, X, Y.
7. Verification with Options:
   Matching "UVXY" with given options confirms it as the correct completion.

Thus, using the identified pattern, the correct answer is UVXY
