Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of ::?
# : DKR :: PCL: %
Option 1: # = BNQ, % = NFM
Option 2: # = FHT, % = NFJ
Option 3: # = COQ, % = OGH
Option 4: # = BNP, % = N FJ
Correct Answer: # = FHT, % = NFJ
Solution :
Given:
# : DKR :: PCL: %
Let's check the options –
First option:
# = BNQ, % = NFM;
⇒ BNQ : DKR :: PCL: NFM
B(2) + 2 = D(4); N(14) – 3 = K(11); Q(17) + 1 = R(18)
Similarly, P(16) – 2 = N(14); C(3) + 3 = F(6); L(12) + 1 = M(13)
Second option:
# = FHT, % = NFJ;
⇒ FHT : DKR :: PCL: NFJ
F(6) – 2 = D(4); H(8) + 3 = K(11); T(20) – 2 = R(18)
Similarly, P(16) – 2 = N(14); C(3) + 3 = F(6); L(12) – 2 = J(10)
Third option:
# = COQ, % = OGH;
⇒ COQ : DKR :: PCL: OGH
C(3) + 1 = D(4); O(15) – 4 = K(11); Q(17) + 1 = R(18)
Similarly, P(16) – 1 = O(15); C(3) + 4 = G(7); L(12) – 4 = H(8)
Fourth option:
# = BNP, % = N FJ;
⇒ BNP : DKR :: PCL: NFJ
B(2) + 2 = D(4); N(14) – 3 = K(11); P(16) + 2 = R(18)
Similarly, P(16) – 2 = N(14); C(3) + 3 = F(6); L(12) – 2 = J(10)
So, only the second option matches with the same pattern on both sides. Hence, the
second option
is correct.
