Question

Find the missing terms in the following pattern.
$\text{T}$ $\text{I}$ $\text{M}$ $\text{T}$ $\text{M}$ $\text{E}$

• A. $\text{T}$
• B. $\text{I}$
• C. $\text{M}$
• D. $\text{E}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

$\text{E}$

Given sequence: $\text{T}$ $\text{I}$ $\text{M}$ _____ $\text{T}$ _____ $\text{M}$ $\text{E}$

By observing the pattern in the above sequence, we divide the sequence in $2$ groups, having $4$ terms each.

So, the given sequence in the groups from can be written as:
$[\text{T}$ $\text{I}$ $\text{M}$ _____$]$ $[\text{T}$ _____ $\text{M}$ $\text{E}]$

As the first and second groups follow the same letter arrangement, the $4^{\text{th}}$ alphabet in the first group is $\text{E}$ and the $2^{\text{nd}}$ alphabet in the second group is $\text{I}$.

$[\text{T}$ $\text{I}$ $\text{M}$ $\underset{–}{\text{E}}$ $]$ $[\text{T}$ $\underset{–}{\text{I}}$ $\text{M}$ $\text{E}]$

Therefore, the missing terms are $\underset{–}{\text{E}}$ and $\underset{–}{\text{I}}$.
