Alphabet Series-Reasoning

 

In alphabet series, a series of alphabet is given and which follow a pattern throughout in a series. Therefore, you have to identify the pattern and complete the series, by choosing the correct alternative given in the question.

Rules for the alphabet series:

1. Keep the order of letters with their respective numbers, i.e. A=1, B=2, c=3…….Z=26 and vice versa i.e. Z = 1, ………A = 26.
2. When the counting is circular, after Z, the cycle will continue from A.
3. Sometimes letters are omitted in sequence. Example – ABC …, EFG…., Here D and H in the sequence are omitted.
4. Sometimes equal number of letters are omitted. For example in ADG, two consecutive letters are omitted.
5. One following the letter and the other preceding it may be organized. For example – in BCA, C follows B and A precedes B.
6. Sometimes, there may be repetition of letters in a set order. For example in AAB, ABC……., one letter is repeated twice. The next set could be CCD.
7. Sometimes the numbers are mixed with letters, the number may refer to the position of the letters in the alphabet.
