Question

Find the missing code:
L1#1O2~2, J2#2Q3~3, _______, F4#4U5~5, D5#5W6~6

• A. H3#3I4\(\sim\)4
• B. None of these
• C. H3\(\#\)3H4\(\sim\)4
• D. E\(3\#\)3V4\(\sim\)4

Hint:

N/A

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern in the given code sequences and determine the missing code that fits the sequence. Let's analyze the given examples:

• LI#1O2~2: Letters L, I; Numbers 1, 2; Symbol ~2
• J2#2Q3~3: Letters J, Q; Numbers 2, 3; Symbol ~3
• F4#4U5~5: Letters F, U; Numbers 4, 5; Symbol ~5
• D5#5W6~6: Letters D, W; Numbers 5, 6; Symbol ~6

The pattern appears to be a sequence of characters where the letters' positions in the alphabet correspond to the numbers following the symbols, and the symbol number at the end is always the higher of the two numbers. Let's break this down:

• The first letter is systematically decreasing in the alphabet: L (12), J (10), F (6), and D (4).
• The corresponding second letter follows by skipping 8 consecutive positions: I (9), Q (17), U (21), W (23) indicating a consistent pattern, but this part doesn't obviously connect to a simple predictable jump.
• The number between the hash # is the same as the first number next to the letter.
• The number before the ~ is the second number, which also matches the higher number from the letters' section.

The task is to find the missing code that should follow this pattern. None of these combinations directly follows the predictable pattern found, where the symbol (#) and numbers match both criteria harmoniously throughout.

Reviewing the options:

• H3#3I4~4: H(8), I(9) breaks the consistent progression by skipping more than seen steps.
• E3#3V4~4: E(5), V(22) doesn't follow similar incremental letter logic either and skips a non-progressive path.

Given analysis confirms None of these adhere perfectly to the outlined rules.
