11. AZ, GI, MN, ?, YB which one of the following can replace the question mark?
(a) KF
(b) RX
(c) SH
(d) TS
Exp: (c) AZ, GT, MN,___ , YB
In this series letter contain AZ, second letter G. From this we can see that A to G increasing order but Z
to T decreasing order. 3rd letter also maintain same pattern respect to 2nd letter.
Now, we are considering position of each letter according to the alphabetical order.
A + 6 = G, G + 6 = M => M + 6 =S
Z – 6 = T, T – 6 = N =>N – 6 =H
So, fourth term will be = SH
12. J2Z, K4X, I7V, ?, H16R, M22P which one of the following can replace the question mark?
(a) I11T
(b) L11S
(c) L12T

Exp: (d) J2Z, K4X, I7V, ___, H16R, M22P
Here first letter contain 2 letters and one numeric
value.
1st term of each letter : J K I __ H M
Here j to k increasing order but k to I decreasing
order ,again h to k also increasing order.
Each step + 1, – 2, + 3, – 4……
J + 1 = K, K – 2 = I, I + 3 = L,
L – 4 = H, H + 5 = M,
2nd term also increases by + 2, + 3, + 4, + 5 order.
2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 3 = 7, 7 + 4 =11, 11 + 5 = 16,
16 + 6 = 22
3rd term decreases by 2 fixed order.
Z – 2 = X, X – 2 = V, V – 2 = T
Fourth letter will be L11T.
