Question

Find the missing code:
L1#1O2~2, J2#2Q3~3, _______, F4#4U5~5, D5#5W6~6

• A. H3#3I4\(\sim\)4
• B. None of these
• C. H3\(\#\)3H4\(\sim\)4
• D. E\(3\#\)3V4\(\sim\)4

Hint:

N/A

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the missing code, we must analyze the pattern in the provided code sequences. Let's examine the examples:

• LI#1O2~2: Letters L, I; Numbers 1, 2; Symbol ~2
• J2#2Q3~3: Letters J, Q; Numbers 2, 3; Symbol ~3
• F4#4U5~5: Letters F, U; Numbers 4, 5; Symbol ~5
• D5#5W6~6: Letters D, W; Numbers 5, 6; Symbol ~6

The pattern involves character sequences where letter positions in the alphabet relate to the numbers following the symbols, and the symbol number is the higher of the two numbers. Key elements:

• The first letter decreases sequentially in the alphabet: L (12), J (10), F (6), and D (4).
• The second letter progression is less straightforward: I (9), Q (17), U (21), W (23).
• The number between the hash # matches the first number after the letters.
• The number before the ~ corresponds to the second number, which is also the larger number in the letter section.

The objective is to identify the missing code following this pattern. None of the presented options seamlessly align with the established rules, where the symbol (<strong>#</strong>) and number combinations maintain consistency.

Evaluating the options:

• H3#3I4~4: H(8), I(9) disrupts the consistent progression.
• E3#3V4~4: E(5), V(22) deviates from the incremental letter pattern.

The analysis concludes that None of these perfectly adhere to the defined rules.
