    Alphabet Series Tricks - PDF: Down During Your Exam

    Uploaded by

    Josh
    The document discusses methods for solving alphabet series tricks questions that are sometimes seen in exams. It presents two basic methods: 1) Memorizing the number positions of each letter and using skip counting, and 2) Using a "circle of letters" where the gap between letters in each term reduces by one. An example of each method is provided. The document emphasizes remembering that the interval between letters is A-M = 1-13 and N-Z = 14-26. It also notes that letter progressions don't always have a relationship and can involve each letter moving forward or backward individually.

    Alphabet Series Tricks - PDF

    Published on Friday, June 03, 2016

    Before beginning the Alphabet Series ,let me ask a question

    Suppose you are asked find the missing term in the following series

    1, 3, 5, 7, __

    You can tell immediately that the answer is 9.

    Similar thing can be asked in Alphabet Series like:


    A, C, E, G, __

    Your answer would be ‘I’ because you understood it quickly that like the number series
    you need to skip one letter and reach the next letter.

    So there are two basic methods to do the Alphabet Series.

    1. Remember all the alphabets and their place number , You can even note
    down during your exam.

    Here you should remember two things

    A to M = 1 to 13 and N to Z = 14 to 26

    Intervals like:
    So if you remember these intervals,It would be helpful in solving alphabet series
    problems.

    For example:

    What is the value of U?


    So here in this case you can tell immediately that it is 21 because you know
    that immediately before U is T and its value is 20

    Let us pick up another question

    What is the missing letter in the series? U O I ___ A.

    Solution: If you observe it attentively, then we can see that they are the vowels written in
    the REVERSE order.

    U O I E A
    Ans. E

    Find the missing term in the series - AD , GJ, MP, ?

    Solution:
    To do this we need to see their numeral values

    A D = 1 and 1+3 = 1 4

    G J =4+3 is 7 and 7+3 is 10 = 7 10

    MP = 10+3 is 13 and 13+3 is 16 = 13 16

    So the next would be 16+3 is 19 which means S and 19+3 is 22 which means V = SV

    The missing term is SV.

    2.Next method is by using circle of letters

    This method is very useful when the series is not linear like the one you did in the first
    method.

    Let us understand it through an example:

    BDF, JLN, QSU, ____

    Solution:
    As you can see that between the GROUPS , the gap is reduced by one letter in every step
    but letters of the group have a gap of one letter only.

    So our answer is

    BDF, JLN, QSU, WYA

    Now
    After identifying the first letter of the group which is W if you look at the circle it is
    quite easy to reach on the next two letters where as in case of linear series you have
    to come again which might bring chances of errors.

    Find the next term of the series - AZ, CX, FU, __


    There two series in this question running simultaneously.

    What would be the next term in the following series - QPO, NML,
    KJI, ____.

    Solution: The next term is HGF.


    What is the next term in the series - JAK, KBL, LCM, MDN, ____.

    Solution: Each letter in triplets is moving one place forward.

    Remember: Do not always think that there is a relation between the letters of the
    group, rather you can you can get a situation where each letter in the group is
    moving forward or backward to make the next term of the series.

    Find the next term in the series - SCD, TEF, UGH, ____?

    Solution:
