question english / maths.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \normalsize \text{Directions }: \text{In the following TWO questions} \hspace{1.5em}\\ & \normalsize \text{which one set of letters when } \hspace{1.5em}\\ & \normalsize \text{sequencially placed at gaps in the given } \hspace{1.5em}\\ & \normalsize \text{letter series shall complete it ?}\ \hspace{1.5em}\\ & A.)\ \text{ccbab_caa_bccc_a_}\ \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 1.)\ baab \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 2.)\ babc \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 3.)\ babb \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 4.)\ bbba \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\~\\~\\ & B.)\ \text{a_._dba_._bcad_._da_._cd} \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 1.)\ cbcddcba \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 2.)\ aabbccdd \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 3.)\ bccdbcab\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 4.)\ abcddcba \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (jack1):

1. ccbab_caa_bccc_a_ i'd guess a 4 part repeating pattern of letters? ccba, b_ca, a_bc, cc_a, _ 3321, 2231, 1123, 3321, so ccba, bbca, aabc, ccba, b so missing letters are b,a,b,b answer = option 3

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but which pattern does this number has 3321, 2231, 1123, 3321

OpenStudy (jack1):

i don't know man, sorry, it's was the only pattern i could see with these tho in that sequence...

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok can u solve question B

OpenStudy (jack1):

nope... i've been staring at it for a while now and coming up blank, sorry :(

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the two blank spaces indicate space for 2 letters

OpenStudy (jack1):

i get that... i havent seen the pattern yet tho

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

a_._dba_._bcad_._da_._cd 1_._421_._2314_._41-._34

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

with these possible choices. hmmm. cbcddcba 32344321 aabbccdd 11223344 bccdbcab 23342312 abcddcba 12344321

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

So i have to identify which one makes sense \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & B.)\ \text{1_._421_._2314_._41_._34} \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 1.)\ 1\color{red}{32}421\color{red}{34}2314\color{red}{43}41\color{red}{21}34 \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 2.)\ 1\color{red}{11}421\color{red}{22}2314\color{red}{33}41\color{red}{44}34 \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 3.)\ 1\color{red}{23}421\color{red}{34}2314\color{red}{23}41\color{red}{12}34 \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ & 4.)\ 1\color{red}{12}421\color{red}{34}2314\color{red}{43}41\color{red}{21}34 \hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah there must be a common pattern somewhere

OpenStudy (jack1):

i dont see one option 1. a_._d, ba_._, bcad, _._da, _._cd 13242134231443412134 132, 421, 342, 314, 434, 121, 34 1324, 2134, 2314, 4341, 2134 13242, 13423, 14434, 12134 132421, 342314, 434121, 34 2. a_._d, ba_._, bcad, _._da, _._cd 11142122231433414434 111, 421, 222, 314, 334, 144, 34 1114, 2122, 2314, 3341, 4434 11142, 12223, 14334, 14434 111421, 222314, 334144, 34 3. a_._d, ba_._, bcad, _._da, _._cd 12342134231423411234 123, 421, 342, 314, 234, 112, 34 1234, 2134, 2314, 2341, 1234 12342, 13423, 14234, 11234 123421, 342314, 234112, 34 4. a_._d, ba_._, bcad, _._da, _._cd 11242134231443412134 112, 421, 342, 314, 434, 121, 34 1124, 2134, 2314, 4341, 2134 11242, 13423, 14434, 12134 112421, 342314, 434121, 34 i didn't see much point going beyond groups of 6 letters... do u guys see something in this mess that im missing?

OpenStudy (jack1):

was guessing option 3, groups of 4 again... but just a guess

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

this looked promising as in the interval of 4 letters 1234 are there but 1324, 2134, 2314, \(4341\), 2134 But the third group contradicts it

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, option 3, groups of 4, answer is 3.) bccdbcab

OpenStudy (jack1):

reasoning: "a" moves one place to the left each time

OpenStudy (jack1):

A in first position: 1234, A in 2nd position 2134, A in 3rd position 2314, A in 4th position 2341, back to A in 1st position 1234

OpenStudy (jack1):

ABCD, BACD, BCAD, BCDA, ABCD

OpenStudy (jack1):

***sorry :reasoning: "a" moves one place to the *RIGHT* each time sorry

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yep option 3 :D

OpenStudy (jack1):

sweet ;)

OpenStudy (jack1):
