26 Alpha Series Completion
Letter Number Letter Number Product of the numeric value of YELL will be
H – 6 U 8 12 × (– 9) × (– 2) × (– 2) = – 432.
I – 5 V 9 Hence, the answer is option (1).
I – 4 W 10 12. (c) Multiplying the numeric codes which are assigned
K – 3 X 11 to those alphabets for the designations
L – 2 Y 12 PEON ≡ 3 × (−9) × 2 × 1 = −54
M – 1 Z 13 CLERK ≡ (−11) × (−2) × (−9) ×5 × (−3) = 2970

10. (c) Evaluate the given words. HEAD ≡ (−6) × (−9) × (−13) × (−10) = 7020
HIS ≡ (−6) × (−5) × 6 = 180 Thus, the highest salary is for the designation HEAD.
HELL ≡ (−6) × (−9) × (−2) × (−2) = 216 13. (c) INKR is the answer as all other three are having
ROD ≡ 5 × 2 × (−10) = −100 the same sum, which is equal to – 4.
11. (a) Product of the numeric value of BELL will be
= (– 12) × (– 9) × (– 2) × (– 2) = 432.
Solution From 14 to 16

The letters and their numeric values are as follows.
Letter A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Value 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 –13 –12 –11 –10 –9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1
14. (d) From the given options only option 4 gives us a whole number.

15. (a) PREM has the highest salary of 6435.
16. (a) Evaluating the options we will get option (1): GS – TSZ = (7) (– 8) – (– 7) (– 8) (– 1) = 0 is correct

17. (c) If we split the alphabets in a group of 3 we get following arrangement
DEF/FDE/EFD/DEF/FDE/EF
Here, DEF are rotating in cyclic order.
18. (d) Analyse the options one by one–
Option (A): A O P O P Q O P Q R R Q P O Q P O R O O

Option (B): Q O P O P Q O P Q O R Q P O R P O R O O
Option (C): Q O P O P Q O P Q R R Q P O O P O R O O

None of (A), (B) and (C) follow any logical pattern.
