A series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
CAT, DBT, ECT, ?
FDT
The given series is CAT, DBT, ECT, ?
Let's analyze the pattern in the given series:
- CAT: The first term is CAT.
- DBT: In the second term, each letter shifts one position ahead in the alphabet: C becomes D, A becomes B, and T remains T.
- ECT: Similarly, in the third term, each letter in DBT shifts one position ahead in the alphabet: D becomes E, B becomes C, and T remains T.
Following this pattern, to find the missing term, we shift each letter in ECT one position ahead:
- E becomes F
- C becomes D
- T remains T
Therefore, the missing term is FDT.
The series is formed by shifting each letter in the preceding term one position forward in the alphabetical order, keeping the last letter T constant. This consistent pattern makes FDT the logical continuation.
