SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 83

SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q83

Observe the following incomplete letter sequence carefully. A specific pattern governs the order and repetition of the letters. Choose the option that best fills the blanks to complete the sequence logically and symmetrically. ab_dcb_ab_dc_a

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Given Series:

ab_dcb_ab_dc_a

Split into equal clusters (7–7 letters)

ab_dcb_ | ab_dc_a

Pattern: Each cluster follows a continuous sequence of letters:

a → b → c → d → c →b → a (i.e., abcdcba)

So, missing letters in series are:

c, a , c , b .

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
