RBI Phase 1 Recap 1st August 18 Reasoning Alpha Numeric Series 1

1) The document provides examples of alphanumeric series reasoning questions with solutions. Alphanumeric series combine letters, numbers, and symbols. 2) Key concepts explained are the meaning of "following, followed by, preceding, and preceded by" in series. Several sample questions are given and solved dealing with finding missing terms, counting elements that meet certain criteria, and identifying patterns in alphanumeric series. 3) Patterns identified in the series include increasing numerical gaps between letters, rules for symbols preceding or following certain characters, and numeric patterns corresponding to alphabetical patterns.

RBI PHASE 1 RECAP

1ST JULY ‘18

REASONING – ALPHA NUMERIC SERIES


APPHABET SERIES

Alphanumeric series is a combination of alphabetic and numeric characters. In some cases, it may
include upper and lowercase letters, punctuation marks, and symbols (such as @, &, and *,).
This type of reasoning is a mixed bag of coding-decoding, series-based reasoning and finding position-
based reasoning questions.

Points to note:

Let us understand the meaning of few key words that are generally used in such questions like
"following, followed by, preceding, and preceded by".
Let us take two successive alphabets Y and Z. Here, Y is preceding Z and Z is preceded by Y. Also, Z is
following Y and Y is followed by Z.
ALPHA NUMERIC SERIES

Solution (a)
Q.1) Find the missing term: For the first alphabet we jump from one alphabet to
J2Z, K4X, I7V, ___, H16R, F22P the next alphabet and then to the alphabet right
[a] G11T before the first jump.
[b] G11S The numbers move with a gap of 2, 3, 4 …..
[c] L12S For the last alphabet count from Z leaving one
[d] G11U alphabet in the count.
Hence, next pair should be G11T.

I.2) Study the following information


carefully to answer the questions given
below:
SQA5N%T7B4#JE$2TD*18H
3U@9FW&K

Q.2) How many such consonants


Solution (b)
are there in the above arrangement,
There are two instances, SQA and #JE.
each of which is immediately followed
by a vowel but not immediately
preceded by a number?
[a] one
[b] two
[c] three
[d] more than three

I.3) Study the following information


carefully to answer the questions given
below:
SQA5N%T7B4#JE$2TD*18H
3U@9FW&K

Q.3) How many such consonants are Solution (d)


there in the above arrangement, each of There are three instances like this, which are 5N%,
which is either immediately preceded TD*, FW&
by a vowel or immediately followed by
a symbol but not both?
[a] none
[b] one
[c] two
[d] three

I.4) Study the following information


carefully to answer the questions given
below:
SQA5N%T7B4#JE$2TD*18H
3U@9FW&K
Solution (d)
Q.4) which of the following is the The fifteenth from the left is ‘2’ while the seventh to
seventh to the left of the fifteenth from the left of 2 is ‘7’ itself.
the left end in the above arrangement?
[a] H
[b] B
[c] I
[d] 7
ALPHA NUMERIC SERIES

Q.5) The letters skipped between the


adjacent letters is in the order of 1, 2, 3,
4, …. Which alternative follows this
Solution (c)
rule?
EGJNS follows the skipping of 1, 2, 3 and 4 letters
[a] EFJNS
respectively.
[b] EGJOS
[c] EGJNS
[d] EGJNT
ALPHA NUMERIC SERIES

Solution (b)
There are three series in the sequence:
The numbers to the left of the letters- 16, 18, 21, 25
are increasing continuously by 1 more than the
Q.6) Find the missing term:
previous increase i.e., the series of increases in these
16D7, 18G10, 21K14, 25P19, ___
numbers are 2, 3, 4 and the next number should be
[a] 30V20
+5, thus 25 + 5 = 30.
[b] 30V25
The letters DGKP form a series where 2, 3 and 4
[c] 30V24
letters are skipped every time. Hence, the next letter
[d] 29V25
would be V.
Similarly, 7, 10, 14, 19 would give 25 as the next
term.
Thus, the correct answer would be 30V25.
ALPHA NUMERIC SERIES

Q.7) Find the missing term:


BC ,6, EFG, 210, IJK, ___ Solution (c)
[a] 1000 The pattern is:
[b] 190 BC = 2x3 = 6
[c] 990 EFG = 5x6x7 = 210
[d] 999 IJK = 9x10x11 = 990 (ans.)
[e] none of these
