Letter Series

Question:

In the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given series shall complete it:

FA_O_F_V_R_A_OR

Options:

VFOARV

VRAOFV

VRAVFO

ARVOFV

Correct Answer:

VRAOFV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → VRAOFV

To solve this letter series, we first need to count the total number of characters (including the gaps) to identify a repeating pattern.

The given series is: F A _ O _ F _ V _ R _ A _ O R Total characters (letters + gaps) = 15

A 15-letter series is usually divided into groups of 3 or 5. Let's try dividing it into groups of 5: F A _ O _ | F _ V _ R | _ A _ O R

Finding the Pattern

By comparing the three groups, we can see they are meant to be identical:

  1. Group 1: F A _ O _
  2. Group 2: F _ V _ R
  3. Group 3: _ A _ O R

If we merge the information from all three, we get the word: F A V O R

  • From Group 1 & 2: The 3rd letter is V.
  • From Group 1 & 3: The 2nd letter is A, the 4th is O.
  • From Group 2 & 3: The 5th letter is R.
  • From Group 1 & 2: The 1st letter is F.

Filling the Gaps

The completed series is: F A (V) O (R) / F (A) V (O) R / (F) A (V) O R

The letters placed in the gaps are: V, R, A, O, F, V
