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 ::?
# : KNE :: PQV : %
Option 1: # = NOB, % = SRY
Option 2: # = NKF, % = MTU
Option 3: # = MOB, % = RTT
Option 4: # = HQD, % = MTV
Correct Answer: # = NKF, % = MTU
Solution :
Given:
# : KNE :: PQV : %
Let's check the options –
First option:
# = NOB, % = SRY
NOB : KNE→N – 3 = K; O – 1 = N; B + 3 = E
PQV : SRY→P + 3 = S; Q + 1 = R; V + 3 = Y
Second option:
# = NKF, % = MTU
NKF : KNE→N – 3 = K; K + 3 = N; F – 1 = E
PQV : MTU→P – 3 = M; Q + 3 = T; V – 1 = U
Third option:
# = MOB, % = RTT
MOB : KNE→M – 2 = K; O – 1 = N; B + 3 = E
PQV : RTT→P + 2 = R; Q + 3 = T; V – 2 = T
Fourth option:
# = HQD, % = MTV
HQD : KNE→H + 3 = K; Q – 3 = N; D + 1 = E
PQV : MTV→P – 3 = M; Q + 3 = T; V + 0 = V
So, only the second option matches with the same pattern on both sides. Hence, the second option is correct.
