Logical Sequences: Understanding and completing logical sequences

🚀 Logical sequences are patterns or arrangements of numbers, letters, or objects that follow a specific rule or set of rules. Understanding these sequences is like solving a puzzle where you need to find the missing piece. In the context of the JNVST, logical sequences often involve numbers or letters arranged in a particular order, and your task is to identify the rule governing the sequence and use it to find the next item or fill in the missing parts.

Examples💡

Example 1: Number Sequence - Consider the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, __. Here, each number increases by 2. So, the next number is 10.
Example 2: Letter Sequence - Look at the sequence A, C, E, __. Each letter is followed by the next letter in the alphabet, skipping one. So, the next letter is G.
Example 3: Mixed Sequence - In the sequence 1, A, 2, B, 3, __, the pattern alternates between numbers and letters. The next item is C.

Common Mistakes to Avoid⚠️

  • Mistake 1: Not identifying the correct pattern. Always look for a consistent rule that applies to the entire sequence.
  • Mistake 2: Confusing arithmetic sequences with geometric sequences. Make sure to check if the sequence involves addition/subtraction or multiplication/division.
  • Mistake 3: Overlooking alternating patterns. Some sequences alternate between different types of elements, like numbers and letters.
