Practice MCQ Questions and Answer on Missing Character Finding
1.
Find the missing character?
(A) Q
(B) H
(C) P
(D) G
Solution:
In each row, the numerical value of the central letter equals the difference between the sum of the numerical values of the two left hand letters and the sum of the numerical values of the two right hand letters. So, Missing Character, (K + D) - (B + E) = (11 + 4) - (2 + 5) = 15 - 7 = 8 = H.
2.
Find the missing character?
(A) A
(B) F
(C) P
(D) Q
Solution:
Starting at the top left circle, and moving right, then down one row and moving left, in a snakes and ladders pattern, letters move through the circle in the series skipping 1, 2 and 3 letters respectively.
3.
Find the missing character?
(A) Q
(B) L
(C) P
(D) K
Solution:
As you move right from left, the numerical value of the letters follows the sequence of Prime Numbers. B = 2 C = 3 E = 5 G = 7. Next Prime Number = 11 K = 11 Missing Character = K.
4.
Find the missing character?
(A) P
(B) K
(C) N
(D) Q
Solution:
The numerical values of the letters in opposite segments of the circle always add up to 17. Alphabetical Order of G + Alphabetical Order of J = 17 7 + 10 = 17. Alphabetical Order of P + Alphabetical Order of A = 17 16 + 1 = 17. Thus, Alphabetical Order of F + Missing Character = 17 Missing Character = 17 - 6 Missing Character = 11 = Alphabetical Order 11 = K.
5.
Find the missing character?
(A) G
(B) I
(C) L
(D) U
Solution:
Start at the top left, and work through the diagram in a Z shape, letters move through the alphabet in steps of 6, then 7, then 8 etc.
6.
Find the missing character?
(A) A
(B) G
(C) T
(D) X
Solution:
Starting in the top left, and moving in rows, left to right, top to bottom, letters advance through the alphabet in steps of 6, 7 and 8.
7.
Find the missing character?
(A) C
(B) F
(C) L
(D) R
Solution:
Start with the A in the bottom left corner, and move in a clockwise spiral around the diagram towards the centre. Letters are written in alphabetic order, in steps of 6 letters at a time.
8.
Find the missing character?
(A) D
(B) S
(C) G
(D) M
Solution:
Letters in the top line follow the alphabetic sequence, in steps of 4 letters at a time. Letters in the central line advance 5 letters, and in the bottom line, 6 letters.
9.
Find the missing character?
(A) W
(B) X
(C) Y
(D) Z
Solution:
Start with the outer segment in the top left, and move anti-clockwise. Letters advance through the alphabet in steps of 6, then 7, then 8. Continue around the outer segments of the diagram, then move in an anti-clockwise direction around the inner segments.
10.
Find the missing character?
(A) A
(B) X
(C) W
(D) B
Solution:
Looking at the diagram in columns, letters in the first column are written with 2 straight lines, in the second column they contain 3 straight lines, and letters in the right hand column are written with 4 straight lines.
