Question

In the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?

a _ bc _ a _ bcdabc _ da _ cd _

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

adbcbd

The series is built from the repeating block abcd. Filling the six blanks with a, d, b, c, b, d gives \(\underline{a\,a\,b\,c}\,\underline{d\,a\,b\,b}\,\underline{c\,d\,a\,b}\,\underline{c\,c\,d\,a}\,\underline{b\,c\,d\,d}\) — the four-letter block abcd cycles cleanly through every position, with each insertion completing the next rotation.

Hence the correct set is adbcbd.
