IBPS PO Reasoning: Alphabetical Series questions with solutions

Q1. Based on the arrangement: V Z T W X Y U. Which element is immediately after Z?

1. V
2. T
3. W
4. X

Answer: T

In the sequence V Z T W X Y U, the element that comes immediately after Z is T. This is a direct position-based question.

Q2. Which combination does not follow the pattern of having one position gap between letters?

1. 9DF
2. ZT4
3. MH3
4. NP6

Answer: ZT4

In 9DF, D and F have one letter gap between them. In MH3, M and H do not fit the same simple one-gap pattern? Actually the intended pattern is that the two letters should be separated by one intervening letter, as in D-F and N-P. Z and T are farther apart, so ZT4 breaks the pattern. Hence ZT4 is the odd one out.
