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.

127.
Find the missing character?
(A) E
(B) B
(C) T
(D) S
Solution:
Working through the diagram in rows, from top to bottom, the sum of the numerical values of the letters in each row follows the sequence 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. So, S + K + Missing Character = 35 Missing Character = 35 - 19 - 11 = 5 = E.

(B) B
(C) I
(D) P
Solution:
