A coded alphanumeric sequence has one missing item. Identify the option that correctly fills the blank.
AXD6, CZF12, EBH18, ?, IFL30
Correct Answer :
GDJ24
Solution :
The correct option is GDJ24.
To find the missing term in the sequence AXD6, CZF12, EBH18, ?, IFL30, we analyze the pattern followed by each of the four components: the first letter, the second letter, the third letter, and the numerical value.
1. Pattern for the First Letter:
The first letters of the given terms are A, C, E, ?, I.
Converting these letters to their numerical positions in the alphabet:
A = 1, C = 3, E = 5, I = 9
Each letter advances by 2 positions:
(C)
(E)
(G)
(I)
Thus, the first letter of the missing term is G.
2. Pattern for the Second Letter:
The second letters of the terms are X, Z, B, ?, F.
Converting these letters to their positions in the alphabet (wrapping around from Z to A):
X = 24, Z = 26, B = 2 (or 28th letter), F = 6
Each letter advances by 2 positions:
(Z)
(B)
(D)
(F)
Thus, the second letter of the missing term is D.
3. Pattern for the Third Letter:
The third letters of the terms are D, F, H, ?, L.
Converting these letters to their alphabetical positions:
D = 4, F = 6, H = 8, L = 12
Each letter advances by 2 positions:
(F)
(H)
(J)
(L)
Thus, the third letter of the missing term is J.
4. Pattern for the Number:
The numbers in the sequence are 6, 12, 18, ?, 30.
Each number increases by 6 in each step:
Thus, the numerical part of the missing term is 24.
Combining all components together gives the missing term: GDJ24.
