Question : Directions: Select the option that represents the letters that, when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series.
L_ _A_ _S_ _K_ _L_ _A
Option 1: ASLKALSAKA
Option 2: KSKKALSAKA
Option 3: KSLKALSAKS
Option 4: KSLKALSAKA
Correct Answer: KSLKALSAKS
Solution : Given:
L_ _A_ _S_ _K_ _L_ _A
To fill the series we have to divide the series –
L_ _A \ _ _S_ \ _K_ _ \ L_ _A
Let's check each option –
First option: ASLKALSAKA; LASA \ LKSA \ LKSA \ LKAA (No repeated pattern has been found)
Second option: KSKKALSAKA; LKSA \ KKSA \ LKSA \ LKAA (No repeated pattern has been found)
Third option: KSLKALSAKS; LKSA \ LKSA \ LKSA \ LKSA (LKSA is repeated in the series)
Fourth option: KSLKALSAKA; LKSA \ LKSA \ LKSA \ LKAA (No repeated pattern has been found)
Thus, the series becomes – LKSALKSALKSALKSA. Hence, the third option is correct.
