The Correct Answer and Explanation is :
Let’s break each sequence down individually and analyze the patterns:
Sequence 1: 2, 7, 8, 3, 12, 9, 10, 15, 5, 11
This appears to be an alternating pattern between increasing and decreasing numbers. If we break it down:
- Increasing: 2, 8, 12, 10, 15, 11
- Decreasing: 7, 3, 9, 5
The next number would continue the alternating pattern. Since the last number (11) is part of the increasing group, the next number should be part of the decreasing group. So, the next number is likely 6.
Sequence 2: CD, HI, MN, RS, YZ, VW, UV, WX
This pattern seems to involve consecutive letters of the alphabet:
- CD (C, D)
- HI (H, I)
- MN (M, N)
- RS (R, S)
- YZ (Y, Z)
- VW (V, W)
- UV (U, V)
- WX (W, X)
It follows a regular alphabetical pattern. The next set of letters should be YZ, continuing the alphabet.
Sequence 3: 1 I, 2 L, 3 F, 4 G, E, S, T
The pattern in these pairs isn’t immediately clear, but we can attempt to associate the letter with the number. It seems the letters correspond to positions in the alphabet, and their positions might be following a shifting pattern.
Sequence 4: 4 D, 7 G, 10 J, 13 N, L, K, M
Here, the number increases by 3, and the corresponding letter seems to shift in the alphabet accordingly. We can predict the next number is 16 (following the pattern), and the next letter would follow the alphabetic sequence.
Sequence 5: BE, GJ, LO, QT
This is likely a series of two-letter combinations, and it seems to follow an alphabetic pattern:
- B, E
- G, J
- L, O
- Q, T
- The next combination should logically be U, Z, continuing the pattern.
Sequence 6: 8, 12, 16, 18
These numbers seem to increase sequentially but not by a constant number. The next value would logically be 20, continuing the trend.
Sequence 7: 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 9, 4, 8, 12, 16, 18
This sequence appears to alternate between increases and decreases. We expect the next number to be part of the increasing group, so the next number should be 20.
Sequence 8: Y, B, W, D, U, F, S, T, X, V
This sequence alternates between letters. The next letter after V would likely be W, continuing the alternating pattern.
Sequence 9: 12, 21, 23, 32, 34, 43, 42, 45, 35, 34
This appears to follow a fluctuation pattern. The next number could be 33 based on the alternating nature of increases and decreases.
Sequence 10: 2, 3, E, 4, 5, I, 6, 8, O, 8, M, N
This sequence follows a combination of numbers and letters. There seems to be no immediate numerical pattern, but based on how the letters alternate, the next letter would logically be P.
Sequence 11: B, a, D, E, H, G, J, K, L, M, N, O
This sequence starts with letters and follows an alphabetical order with no skipping. The next letter after O is P.
Sequence 12: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21
This is a sequence of prime numbers with an exception around 18. Following the pattern of primes, the next number would likely be 23.
By examining each sequence and pattern, we can predict the following:
- Next numbers/letters:
- 6
- YZ
- S
- 16, P
- U, Z
- 20
- 20
- W
- 33
- P
- P
- 23
