Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series.
u _ p s _ z _ m p _ d _ u _ p s _ z
- Am d u s z m d
- Bm d p s z u d
- Cp d u s m z d
- Dm d u m z m d
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's count the total number of letters and spaces. There are 18 elements. Let's try dividing the series into 3 groups of 6 letters each:
u_ps_z∣_mp_d_∣u_ps_z
By comparing the first block (u_ps_z) and the third block (u_ps_z), they are identical. Let's see if the second block matches them or continues a uniform pattern like u m p s d z.
Let's test the word umpsdz across all three blocks:
u[m]ps[d]z→ umpsdz
[u]mp[s]d[z]→ umpsdz
u[m]ps[d]z→ umpsdz
The sequential letters filled in the blanks are: m, d, u, s, z, m, d.
This perfectly matches Option A.
u_ps_z∣_mp_d_∣u_ps_z
By comparing the first block (u_ps_z) and the third block (u_ps_z), they are identical. Let's see if the second block matches them or continues a uniform pattern like u m p s d z.
Let's test the word umpsdz across all three blocks:
u[m]ps[d]z→ umpsdz
[u]mp[s]d[z]→ umpsdz
u[m]ps[d]z→ umpsdz
The sequential letters filled in the blanks are: m, d, u, s, z, m, d.
This perfectly matches Option A.
