Types of Series

Decreasing successively
Various types of Alphabetical series

Type – I: ALPHABET SERIES For Example: ZYWTP ( -1,-2,-3,-4 ..)

Increasing by a definite number ZTOKHFE ( -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1)

For Example: IJKL? ( each letter increases


by 1)
Decreasing and Increasing by a constant
AGMSY? ( each letter increases by 6 place value.

For Example: DFCEBDACZ (+2,-3,+2,-
Decreasing by a definite number 3,…)

For Example: ZXVTRP ? ( each letter TYPE-II : ALPHANUMERIC SERIES


decreases by 2 places to its left )
EX-1: Z1A, X2D,V6G,T21J,R88M,
