Select the option that represents the letters that, when placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series: S _ Y A _ F I K M _ S U W

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the series: S _ Y A _ F I K M _ S U W

Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Letters:  S _ Y A _ F I K M _  S  U  W

We need to find the letters at positions 2, 5, and 10.

Step 1: Look for a pattern in the given letters.

Given letters at known positions:
1: S (19th letter)
3: Y (25th letter)
4: A (1st letter)
6: F (6th letter)
7: I (9th letter)
8: K (11th letter)
9: M (13th letter)
11: S (19th letter)
12: U (21st letter)
13: W (23rd letter)

Step 2: Check the pattern in the known letters.

From position 6 to 9: F(6), I(9), K(11), M(13)
The increments are +3, +2, +2 respectively.

From position 11 to 13: S(19), U(21), W(23)
The increments are +2 each.

Step 3: Check the first few letters:
Positions 1, 3, 4: S(19), Y(25), A(1)
Y is 6 letters after S (19 + 6 = 25)
A is 1, which is after Y(25) wrapping around the alphabet.

Step 4: Try to fill the blanks with the options and check consistency.

Option 2: V C P
Positions 2: V(22), 5: C(3), 10: P(16)

Check sequence:
Positions 1-5: S(19), V(22), Y(25), A(1), C(3)
Increments: +3, +3, +2 (wrapping around alphabet)

Positions 9-13: M(13), P(16), S(19), U(21), W(23)
Increments: +3, +3, +2, +2

This shows a consistent pattern of increments mostly by 2 or 3.

Hence, the correct letters to fill the blanks are V, C, and P.

Therefore, option 2 (VCP) is correct.
