a) Nil                b) One               c) Two              d) Three            e) More than three

Concept 3:

The candidate must understand that rule and identify the option which is follows the same rule as asked in the given question.

Eg: Number of letters skipped in between adjacent letters in the series is two.   

a) MPSVYBE               b) QSVYZCF                c) SVZCGJN                 d) ZCGKMPR

Concept 5:

Construction of Words from Jumbling Letters

 By using given letters the candidate has to construct a meaningful word by arranging the given letters in a particular pattern.

Eg: Directions: Letters of the words given below have been jumbled up. You are required to construct the words. Each letter has been numbered and each word is followed by four options. Choose the option which gives the correct order of the letters as indicated by the numbers to form words.

I N L A S G

1 2 3 4 5 6

a) 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 5           b) 3, 4, 6, 1, 2, 5                     c) 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3           d) 6, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2

Concept 6:

Word Formation using Letters of a given Word

In this concept, the questions are asked in such a way that they will give one word. Along with that word he will give some certain conditions, the candidate must use those conditions and form a meaningful word by using some of the letters in that word.

Eg: If it is possible to make a meaningful word with the first, the fourth, the seventh and the eleventh letters of the word INTERPRETATION, which of the following will be third letter of that word? If more than one such words can be made, give ‘M’ as the answer and if no such word can be made, give ‘X’ as the answer.  

a) I                    b) R                  c) T                  d) X                              e) M

Logical Sequence of Words

In this concept, the questions consist of certain inter-related words and are numbered, followed by various sequences of the numbers denoting them, as alternatives.
