            THEORY

            In this type of questions, a series of single, pairs or groups of letters or combinations of letters and numbers is given.
            Candidate is required to recognise this pattern and accordingly find the missing terms or the wrong terms.
            To understand this chapter or to perform well, one has to understand the following concept of values or relationship
            between Alphabets and Numericals.

             Alphabets    A     B     C    D     E     F     G    H      I    J     K     L    M     N     O     P
             Numbers      1     2     3     4    5     6     7     8    9    10    11    12    13   14    15    16

             Alphabets    A     B     C    D     E     F     G    H      I    J     K     L    M     N     O     P
             Reverse      Z     Y     X    W     V     U     T     S    R     Q     P    O     N     M     L    K
             order
             Alphabets    Q     R     S     T    U     V    W     X     Y     Z
             Reverse      J     I     H    G     F     E     D    C     B     A
             order

                                                            E    J   O    T    Y
            It is also recommended, that one must Remember "                        "
                                                            5   10   15   20   25

            This will help you to understand the concept or to find out the values of Alphabets without finding or writing all the
            alphabets with their respective values.

            Ex 1: A, D, G, J, M?
            Solution: A             D            G             J            M             ? = ( P )
                As the pattern is the gap between the letters is +3. So required letter is P.
