Select the option that represents the letters which when placed sequentially from left to right in the blank spaces given in the series below will complete the series.
_ G _ J Y _ U _ _G _ _ Y G U _
- AY U G J Y U Y J
- BY U G J Y U J J
- CY U G J Y U J U
- DY U G G Y U J J
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The total number of spaces including letters is 16. Let's divide the series into 4 groups of 4 letters each:
_ G _ J | Y _ U _ | _ G _ _ | Y G U _
Let's compare the groups to identify a repeating pattern:
Look at Group 4: Y G U _
Look at Group 2: Y _ U _. Comparing it with Group 4 suggests the second letter is G, making it Y G U _.
Look at Group 1: _ G _ J. Comparing it with Y G U _ suggests the pattern is a combination of shifting or repeating. Let's test if the alternate groups or all groups are Y G U J.
If the repeating unit is Y G U J:
Group 1: [Y] G [U] J → blanks filled: Y, U
Group 2: Y [G] U [J] → blanks filled: G, J
Group 3: [Y] G [U] [J] → blanks filled: Y, U, J
Group 4: Y G U [J] → blank filled: J
The filled sequence from left to right is: Y U G J Y U J J.
This matches Option B perfectly.
_ G _ J | Y _ U _ | _ G _ _ | Y G U _
Let's compare the groups to identify a repeating pattern:
Look at Group 4: Y G U _
Look at Group 2: Y _ U _. Comparing it with Group 4 suggests the second letter is G, making it Y G U _.
Look at Group 1: _ G _ J. Comparing it with Y G U _ suggests the pattern is a combination of shifting or repeating. Let's test if the alternate groups or all groups are Y G U J.
If the repeating unit is Y G U J:
Group 1: [Y] G [U] J → blanks filled: Y, U
Group 2: Y [G] U [J] → blanks filled: G, J
Group 3: [Y] G [U] [J] → blanks filled: Y, U, J
Group 4: Y G U [J] → blank filled: J
The filled sequence from left to right is: Y U G J Y U J J.
This matches Option B perfectly.
