Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the sixth letter cluster in the same way as the first letter cluster is related to the second letter cluster and the third letter cluster is related to the fourth letter cluster.
EKH : BIE :: MGP : JEM :: ? : QDI
Option 1: SFK
Option 2: LFT
Option 3: TGL
Option 4: TFL
Correct Answer: TFL
Solution :
Given:
EKH : BIE :: MGP : JEM :: ? : QDI
Subtract 3 and 2 alternatively from the place values of the letters of EKH and MGP to get the required codes.
EKH→E – 3 = B; K – 2 = I; H – 3 = E
Thus, EKH is related to BIE.
MGP→M – 3 = J; G – 2 = E; P – 3 = M
Thus, MGP is related to JEM.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for QDI (but here QDI is the coded letter cluster, therefore, follow the reverse order to get the decoded cluster) –
Q + 3 = T; D + 2 = F; I + 3 = L
So, QDI is related to TFL. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
