GH, JL, NQ, SW YD, ?

Answer:

Explanation:

1^st letter : $G+3 \rightarrow J, J+4 \rightarrow N, N+5\rightarrow S, S+6\rightarrow Y, Y+7\rightarrow F$

2^nd letter : $H+4 \rightarrow L, L+5 \rightarrow Q, Q+6\rightarrow W,$

$W+7\rightarrow D, D+8\rightarrow L$

Hence the answer is (d).

AZ, GT, MN, ?, YB

Answer:

Explanation:

1st letter : $A+6 \rightarrow G, G+6 \rightarrow M, M+6\rightarrow S, S+6\rightarrow Y$

2^nd letter : $Z-6 \rightarrow T, T-6 \rightarrow N, N-6 \rightarrow H, H-6 \rightarrow B$

Hence the answer is (b).

Consider the following series: ABCD.....XYZ | YX.....BA | BCD.....YZ | YX.....CBA | BC... YZ...

which letter occupies the 1000th position in the above series?

Answer:

Explanation:

We have 3 patterns :

I. ABCD .....XYZ, which occurs only once.

II. YX ..... BA, which repeats alternately.

III. BC .....YZ, which repeats alternately.

Now, I has 26 terms. So, number of terms before the desired term = (999 - 26) =973.

Each of the patterns which occur after I, has 25 letters.

Now, 973 ÷ 25 gives quotient = 38 and remainder = 23.

Thus, the 1000^th term of the given series is the 24^th term of the 39^th  pattern after I.

Clearly, the 39^th pattern is II and its 24^th term is B.

ATTRIBUTION, TTRIBUTIO, RIBUTIO, IBUTI, ?

Answer:

Explanation:

In the first step, one letter from the beginning and one from the end of a term are removed to give the next term. In the second step, two letters from the beginning of a term are removed. These two-steps are repeated alternatly.

Hence the answer is (c).

AI, BJ, CK,?

Answer:

Explanation:

 1^st letter : $A+1 \rightarrow B, B+1 \rightarrow C, C+1\rightarrow D$

 2^nd letter : $I+1 \rightarrow J, J+1 \rightarrow K, K+1\rightarrow L$

Hence the answer is (a).
