Last updated on Jun 5, 2025

Missing term is one of the types of alphabet series questions that are generally asked under the logical reasoning section. In this type of question, some terms are given in a sequence including the missing term. The missing term can be in any position of the sequence. It may be in starting or in between or at the end of the given sequence. By observing the pattern we find the missing term. These types of questions are frequently asked in Railway for the different levels post like level-2 to level-6 and also for Group-D. Various PSUs exam like BHEL, NLC, UPRVUNL AE/JE, etc. also includes this type of question. To solve the missing term question first write all the English alphabet with the sequence numbering. After that, we focus on the first alphabet of each term. Each term’s alphabet follows a pattern that we have to observe by taking the help of the written English alphabet. Similarly for the 2nd alphabet of each term and so on. After recognizing the pattern each alphabet of the missing term can be found easily. For time-saving, the option-checking method is also useful in the MCQ-type question
