Number Series
A number series is a sequence of many elements made of numbers only. Such sequence is formed by putting the numbers one after another from left to right.
Properties of Number Series
(1) A number series can be in forward or reverse order.
(2) A number series can be in random order.
(3) A single number series can have more than one series.
Example-1
(a) 9 (b) 8
(c) 7 (d) 5

Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: Option (d) is correct because the series goes as following:

Letter Series
A letter series is a sequence of many elements made of letters of English alphabet only
Properties of Letter series
(1) A letter series can be in forward order,
(2) A letter series can be in reverse order.
(3) A letter series can be in random or jumbled order.
Example-2
(a) H (b) G
(c) I (d) J
(e) None of these

Mined Series
A mixed series is a sequence of many elements made of numbers and letters arranged from left to right. In other words, we can say that a mixed series is sequence of diverse elements.
Example-3
Commonly Asked Question
1. Find the next elements in the series given below.
A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 
(a) F6 (b) E6
(c) 16 (d) 6F
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Option (b) is correct because in the given series, letters and numbers take place alternately. Every next letter is one letter ahead from the previous letter and every next number/digit gets increased by 1.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (b).
2. What comes next in the series given below?
(a) 3D (b) D3
(c) E3 (d) 3E
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Option (b) is correct because in this series', numbers and letters take place alternately. Every next number decreases by 1 and every next letter is one letter ahead form the previous letter.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (b).
3. What comes in place of the blank space?
(a) J12 (b) l13
(c) J13 (d) l12
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Option (b) is correct because of the following reason.
1st series (Number series): A C E G I
Every next letter of this series takes place skipping one letter in forward alphabetical order.
Let us see:
2nd series (Number series): 5 7 9 11 13
Clearly, every next element of this series increases by 2.
Let us see:
5 + 2 = 7
7 + 2 = 9
9 + 2 = 11
11 + 2 = 13
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (b).
4. Fill the blank space.
(a) 11B (b) 13B
(c) B12 (d) 12B
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Option (b) is correct because the given series is in the reverse order in which numbers and letters take place alternately. Every next number decreases by 1 and every next letter is one letter backward from the previous letter.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (b).
5.
a b 3 4 c d 5 6 e f 7 8 g ? ? 1 0
(a) 9, h (b) 9, i
(c) i, 9 (d) h, 9
(e) None of these
