Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed from left to right in the gaps of the given letter series will complete the series.
cc__ceeccde___ccde_ee
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → deceec
The series has 21 letters, and the group “ccde” begins at the 8th and again at the 15th place, 7 places apart. So the series is one block of 7 letters repeated three times. The letters given in the first block (cc _ _ cee) and in the second (ccde _ _ _) fill each other in: the block is ccdecee.
Block 1: ccdecee — the gaps take d, e
Block 2: ccdecee — the gaps take c, e, e
Block 3: ccdecee — the gap takes c
Read in order, the letters for the gaps are d e c e e c.
