Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term.
ARB : ZPY :: ? : XVD :: PIN : LGN
Option 1: EYZ
Option 2: EXZ
Option 3: FXZ
Option 4: FYZ
Correct Answer: FXZ
Solution :
Given:
ARB : ZPY :: ? : XVD :: PIN : LGN
Subtract two from the place value of the letters and, then reverse the order, to get the code –
Like, ARB : ZPY→A(1) – 2 = Y(25); R(18) – 2 = P(16); B(2) – 2 = Z(26) and, then the reverse order.
Thus, ARB is coded as ZPY.
And, PIN : LGN→
P(16) – 2 = N(14), I(9) – 2 = G(7), N(14) – 2 = L(12) and, then the reverse order.
Thus, PIN is coded as LGN.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ? : XVD→
Here, we have to find the word from the code so, add 2 to the place value of each letter cluster, to get the missing term –
X(24) + 2 = Z(26), V(22) + 2 = X(24), D(4) + 2 = F(6) and, then the reverse order.
So. the XVD is the code of FXZ. Hence, the third option is correct.
