Series & Missing Terms

Question:

In the following question, a letter-number series is given with one term missing as shown by (?). Choose the missing term out of the given alternatives.

A95, F90, K85, ?, U75

Options:

R80

P80

S75

C75

Correct Answer:

P80

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → P80

Look at the letter and number patterns separately.

Letter pattern:

A → F → K → ? → U

Each step moves +5 letters forward in the alphabet:

  • A → F (+5)
  • F → K (+5)
  • K → P (+5)
  • P → U (+5)

So the missing letter is P.

Number pattern:

95 → 90 → 85 → ? → 75

Each step decreases by 5:

  • 95 → 90 (−5)
  • 90 → 85 (−5)
  • 85 → 80 (−5)
  • 80 → 75 (−5)

So the missing number is 80.

Missing term: P80
