Correct Answer: PWZ : OUW
Solution :
Given:
EKM : DIJ; LPT : KNQ
Subtract 1, 2, and 3 from the place value of the first, second, and third letters respectively, to obtain the second letter clusters.
EKM→E – 1 = D; K – 2 = I; M – 3 = J→DIJ
LPT→L – 1 = K; P – 2 = N; T – 3 = Q→LN
Let's check the given options –
First option:
ABC : XYZ; A – 1 = Z; B – 2 = Z; C – 3 = Z→ZZZ ≠ XYZ
Second option:
PWZ : OUW; P – 1 = O; W – 2 = U; Z – 3 = W→OUW
Third option:
PJQ : NHO; P – 1 = O; J – 2 = H; Q – 3 = N→OHN ≠ NHO
Fourth option:
JMR : LOT; J – 1 = I; M – 2 = K; R – 3 = O→IKO ≠ LOT
So, only the second option follows the pattern of the given pairs. Hence, the second option is correct.
