Question

Identify the missing alphabets
A D C F
C F E H
O R ? ?

• A. LK
• B. QT
• C. MN
• D. ST

Hint:

In alphabet series problems, identify the pattern of increase or decrease in positions to fill in the missing terms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the given series, observe the following pattern: - The first alphabet in each group is increasing in steps of 2: A (1st letter), C (3rd letter), O (15th letter). - The second alphabet is increasing by 2 as well: D (4th letter), F (6th letter), R (18th letter). Now, continuing this pattern: - The next first alphabet should be 15 + 2 = 17, which is Q. - The next second alphabet should be 18 + 2 = 20, which is T. Therefore, the missing alphabets are QT.

Answer 2

We are given three rows of letters and need to identify the missing alphabets in the third row:

Given:
Row 1: A D C F
Row 2: C F E H
Row 3: O R ? ?

Step 1: Understand the pattern
Let’s look at how the characters change column-wise across the rows.

Column 1:
A (1st letter), C (3rd letter), O (15th letter)
We can analyze the pattern by converting letters to positions in the alphabet:
A = 1, C = 3 → +2
C = 3, O = 15 → +12
The difference is inconsistent, so let's try another column.

Column 2:
D (4), F (6), R (18)
D → F = +2
F → R = +12

Still no fixed arithmetic pattern. Let's try examining the rows more holistically or focus on relative shifts.

Alternatively, notice the following pattern:
Row 1 to Row 2: A → C (+2), D → F (+2), C → E (+2), F → H (+2)
So, Row 2 is formed by adding 2 positions to each character of Row 1.

Now apply the same logic to Row 2 to get Row 3:
C → E (+2), F → H (+2), E → G (+2), H → J (+2)
But in the question, Row 3 starts with O and R, which doesn't fit this pattern.

Let’s examine Row 3 independently:
O (15), R (18), ? (?) , ? (?)
Check the difference between O and R: R - O = 18 - 15 = +3
Continue this logic with +3 increment:
R (18) + 2 = Q (17)? That doesn't work.

Try checking the pattern of columns instead:
Column 1: A (1), C (3), O (15) → +2, +12
Column 2: D (4), F (6), R (18) → +2, +12
Column 3: C (3), E (5), ? = 5 + 12 = 17 → Q
Column 4: F (6), H (8), ? = 8 + 12 = 20 → T

So the missing alphabets are: Q and T

Conclusion:
The missing alphabets are Q T
