Re: Complete the Series

Hi Manoj,

I appreciate that you have asked one of the good reasoning question.

Ans. would be : xof,gpy,hqz

I hope my answer would be right one. If not that's fine please send right one as well as send me some suggetions to improve and crack some interviews.




Thanks & Regards

NIkhil Rattan

Re: Complete the Series

I think it should be the initial letters of some famous person name.

Re: Complete the Series

I think the answer is ...

oxf, gpy,qzh...

Explanation:

See the alternative letters of S,T,V,...is going the place like 1,2,3,2,3

A,B,C,...is going the place like 2,3,1,3,1

J,K,L,....is going the place like 3,1,2,1,2,

So the first series going 2,3 position and second series going 3,1 position and then final one going the position 1,2.

Its my guess...but i am not sure this is the correct one.

Re: Complete the Series

I think the answer is XFO.

Consider the first 3 sets.In that ABC,JKL,STU occupies different position.That is the position occupied by A is nt occupied by its sequence B or C upto the third set.

Assuming this logic., in the next set., DE has occupied the positions 1 and 3 and so F must occupy 2nd place.

Similarly., O should go to the last and X to the front..

Manoj must give the answer!!!

Re: Complete the Series

by the way, from ur clue manoj i got some thing to think upon, but iam not sure of ans.I think the ans is WEN

from left to right
SAJ 7,8,8, (these represents the no of characters b/w them)
i.e no of characters b/w S and A is 7 (Note not b/w A and S)


no of characters b/w A and J is 8
no of characters b/w J and S is 8


similarly

KTB 8,7,8

CLU 8,8,7

MVD 8,7,8

ENW 8,8,7

now 7,8,8 should repeat!

bye

Re: Complete the Series

hello shenoy,
see 1st two members of series .. SAJ, KTB...
1st letter of 2nd member is d successor of 3rd letter of 1st member, i.e.,, K&J.
similarly, 2nd letter is always d sucessor of 1st letter of the previous member.. and 3rd letter is of middle letter.. i.e., T of S and B of A.
got it?
