The correct Answer is:
To find the missing letter in the series R, M, ..., F, D, C, we can analyze the pattern in the sequence of letters. 1. **Identify the letters and their positions:** - R is the 18th letter of the alphabet. - M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. - F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. - D is the 4th letter of the alphabet. - C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet. 2. **Determine the differences between the letters:** - From R (18) to M (13): 18 - 13 = 5 - From M (13) to the missing letter: Let's denote the missing letter's position as X. - From the missing letter (X) to F (6): X - 6 = ? - From F (6) to D (4): 6 - 4 = 2 - From D (4) to C (3): 4 - 3 = 1 3. **Establish a pattern in the differences:** - The differences we have so far are: - R to M: -5 - M to the missing letter: ? - F to D: -2 - D to C: -1 - The differences appear to be decreasing by 1 each time, starting from -5. 4. **Calculate the missing letter's position:** - If we continue the pattern, the difference from M to the missing letter should be -3 (since -5, -4, -3, -2, -1). - Therefore, X = 13 - 3 = 10. - The 10th letter of the alphabet is I. 5. **Conclusion:** - The missing letter is I. Thus, the complete series is R, M, I, F, D, C.
