Logical Reasoning - Letter and Symbol Series - Discussion
Discussion Forum : Letter and Symbol Series - Type 1 (Q.No. 3)
Directions to Solve
In these series, you will be looking at both the letter pattern and the number pattern. Fill the blank in the middle of the series or end of the series.
3.
FAG, GAF, HAI, IAH, ____
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The middle letters are static, so concentrate on the first and third letters. The series involves an alphabetical order with a reversal of the letters. The first letters are in alphabetical order: F, G, H, I , J. The second and fourth segments are reversals of the first and third segments. The missing segment begins with a new letter.

The series follows the pattern of taking a three-letter sequence, reversing it, and inserting the letter that comes after the first letter of the original sequence in alphabetical order.
So, starting with "FAG":
Reverse "FAG" to get "GAF".
Insert "H", the letter that comes after "F" in alphabetical order, between "A" and "F" to get "HAI".
Reverse "HAI" to get "IAH".
Therefore, the next term in the series would be "JAI", where "J" is the letter that comes after "I" in alphabetical order.

This is very simple :).
First Letters sequential = F, G, H, I.
Second Letter is a static (not changing) letter = A.
Here's the game! Let's assume you are counting backwards //"started Z all the way to A"// when you get to.
gf (reversed) = fg.
ih (reversed) = hi.
kj (reversed) = Jk.
Therefore the answer is: JAK.
Hopefully I put a smile on your face :-).

Here we give the alphabetical order.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
Y Z.
25 26.
Here the given terms is FAG = 617,
GAF = 716.
Here we used the G so we go sequentially for unused,
FAG = 617.
HAI =819.
IAH = 918 SO another word is,
JAK = 10111.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

2nd letter is static -> A.
1st letter is consecutive
F,G,H,I,J
3 Letters goes like;
G ~ F -1 (according to number values of alphabets).
F ~ I. +3 (according to number values of alphabets).
I ~. H. -1.
We see that the series of -1 and +3 is going consecutively.
Hence,
H+3 = K.
Our final answer is;
JAK.

The missing segment should begin with the letter "K". This rules out choices B and D, leaving choices A and C. Looking at the third letters, we see that they are in alphabetical order: A, F, I. The missing third letter should be "L".
Therefore, the correct answer is HAK.
Therefore, the correct answer is HAK.

Follow the alphabetical order
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N............
The middle letter A is static
Now the 1st and 3rd letter is changing
1st FAG
2nd GAF(change the position of the letter F and G)
3rd HAI
4th IAH(change the position of the letter H and I)
5th JAK
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N............
The middle letter A is static
Now the 1st and 3rd letter is changing
1st FAG
2nd GAF(change the position of the letter F and G)
3rd HAI
4th IAH(change the position of the letter H and I)
5th JAK

Here,
First letters are......f, g, h, i. So next comes `j`.
Second letters are......a, a, a, a. So next letter also comes `a`.
Third letters are.......g, f, i, h. So here is reverse of f, g and i, h so next letter is reverse of j, k.
So answer : jak.
First letters are......f, g, h, i. So next comes `j`.
Second letters are......a, a, a, a. So next letter also comes `a`.
Third letters are.......g, f, i, h. So here is reverse of f, g and i, h so next letter is reverse of j, k.
So answer : jak.

Letter A is in middle of each word F G change their position as per the alphabetical order after G comes H and I so same things happen and after I comes J and K so the answer is JAK. Hope you guys understand!

F,G, H,I
FAG and second they told GAF. Next, they told HAI and if it is reversed then we will get IAH.
So, the answer is JAK if it is reversed we will get KAJ which satisfies F, G, H, I, J, K order.

Here everyone has a problem with K(of JAK).
G of FAG comes from GAF(1st ltr of this) and similarly HAI and IAH related.
So, K of JAK comes from KAJ(which will be the next element).

So, K of JAK comes from KAJ(which will be the next element).
