Question 32:

Find the missing letter in the following question.

A B X

C D T

B F S

H D ?

(1) O (2) M (3) P (4) N

Answer:

1) O

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving it, first write the numerical value of each alphabet. It's well known that there are 26 alphabets in english alphabet, which starts with A having number 1 and ends up at Z having number 26. So, by marking the alphabets as per their numerical values. We can say that-

A is at 1st place, B at 2nd, X at 24th, C at 3rd, D at 4th, T at 20th, F at 6th, S at 19th and H at 8th place.

→ A(1) B(2) X(24)

→ C(3) D(4) T(20)

→ B(2) F(6) S(19)

→ H(8) D(4) _(?)

Just pick up the corner alphabets i.e. A, X, H and ? and solve them.

In the upper half we multiply the middle alphabet with 2 and subtract it from the first alphabet of second series. Now, to get the value of other half of right corner. Add them, as B is already multiplied by 2 just by adding the middle alphabet of first series and last alphabet of second series we'll get the alphabet X.

A = B × 2 - C

X = B × 2 + T

Apply the same on lower half. To get the alphabet H, first multiply the upper first alphabet of lower portion series with 2 and then add alphabet D in it to get the resultant alphabet. Now, we're done with addition, what left is subtrcation. So, substract the S alphabet from D to replace the question mark.

H = B × 2 + 4

? = 19 - 4

(and at 15th position, O is present)

Therefore, the missing alphabet is O.

Shortcut method:

Pick the first alphabet from first column and last alphabet from last column. Now,

→ A = C - B or 1 = 3 - 2

→ ? = S - D = 19 - 4 = 15

Hence, the missing alphabet is O.
