There are different patterns that the groups are made of and the way the groups of letters are put together to form the series. With the help of examples, we will look at different types of questions that can come in this area. Please note that in these types of questions, the number of blanks in the series indicates the number of missing letters, i.e. by one blank. i.e., every missing letter is represented the letters a, b and c, may be arranged in a cyclic to form a group and then repeated to form a series. In typical questions some letters of this series would be missing and you: have to find the pattern of the series and choose the correct alternative from the choices given to complete the series. In order. Such type of problems, it is always better to proceed from 1-1u. Choices by inserting the letters given in the choices so as to obtain a sequence of a Particular Pattern.

Example 1.
