        Word Series in Logical Reasoning UHS MDCAT

        by

        Word series questions test a candidate’s ability to identify patterns or relationships between elements in a sequence. These elements can include numbers, alphabets, symbols, or combinations thereof. Based on the terms and structure of the series, word series can be classified into the following types:

        1. Numeric or Number Series

        • Definition: A series where numbers are arranged in a specific sequence based on a logical relationship.
        • Example:
          2,4,6,8,10,….. (Each term increases by 2).
        • Variations:
          • Ascending or Descending Order (e.g., 10,9,8,7).
          • Arithmetic Progression (AP): 3,6,9,12,
          • Geometric Progression (GP): 2,4,8,16
          • Mixed Patterns (e.g., 2,3,6,11,18

        2. Alphabet Series

        • Definition: A sequence of letters arranged in a specific pattern.
        • Example:
          A,C,E,G,I (Skipping one letter each time).
        • Variations:
          • Sequential Order (e.g., A,B,C,D,E.)
          • Reversed Order (e.g., Z,Y,X,W.)
          • Skipped Letters (e.g., B,D,F,H.)
          • Mixed Capitalization (e.g., A,b,C,d.)

        3. Alphanumeric Series

        • Definition: A combination of alphabets and numbers in a series that follows a specific pattern.
        • Example:
          A1B,B2C,C3D,D4E(Alphabet and number progression).
        • Variations:
          • Fixed Format (e.g., X1,Y2,Z3).
          • Alternating Patterns (e.g., A1,2B,C3).
          • Increasing or Decreasing Digits (e.g., M5,N4,O3).

        4. Pattern Series and Sequences

        • Definition: Identifying missing elements or patterns in a series based on specific rules.
        • Example:
          AA,BB,CC,DD, ? (Pattern: Repeated letters in alphabetical order).
        • Variations:
          • Alternating Patterns (e.g., A,1,B,2,C,3).
          • Repeated Elements (e.g., AAA,BBB,CCC).
          • Increasing or Decreasing Length (e.g., AB,ABC,ABCD).

        6. Combined Series

        • Definition: A series combining elements from two or more types (numbers, alphabets, symbols).
        • Example:
          1A,2B,3C,4D1A, 2B, 3C, 4D (Combination of numbers and alphabets).
        • Variations:
          • Number and Symbol (e.g., 1#, 2@, 3%).
          • Alphabet and Symbol (e.g., A$, B%, C&).
          • Triple Combination (e.g., 1A$, 2B%, 3C&).

        7. Palindrome

        A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward, ignoring spaces, punctuation, and capitalization. Examples include “radar,” “level,” and “121.”
