The candidate has to identify the pattern of the Series to find out the missing umber / letter in the series, For this one needs to have flexible thinking rather than to confining to hard and fast rules. Based on various types of questions appeared recent test papers, the series can be broadly categorised into three. They are 1) Number Series 2) Letter (Alphabet) series 3) Repeating series of alphabet For better understanding, some examples on number series are given here under : 318. 4)19 Answer :(2) The given series is primie number series, The next prime number Is 17..
