Olympiad Verbal - What Comes Next?
Exam Duration: 45 Mins Total Questions : 30
What is the next letter in the series given below?
- (a)
H
- (b)
J
- (c)
I
- (d)
K
We can notice that one letter of the alphabet is skipped between every two letters, i.e., after A, the letter B is skipped and the letter C is given; then the letter D is skipped and the letter E is given. Hence, the next letter in the series is I (obtained after skipping the letter H.)
What is the next letter in the series given below?
- (a)
S
- (b)
R
- (c)
O
- (d)
Q
Here between the first two letters, one letter E has been skipped; between the second and the third letter, two letters G and H have been skipped; between the third and the fourth letters, three letters J, K and L have been skipped; hence, after M, four letters should be skipped to get the next letter, i.e., N, O, P and Q have to be skipped giving us the next letter R in the series
