Select the letter-cluster that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.
EHQ : VSJ :: FCO : ?
- AUXL
- BUXN
- CVXL
- DUZM
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's evaluate the relationship between EHQ and VSJ:
Opposite letters pairs in the English alphabet sum up to 27 in positional value.
Opposite of E(5) is V(22) →5+22=27
Opposite of H(8) is S(19) →8+19=27
Opposite of Q(17) is J(10) →17+10=27
So, the second cluster contains the exact opposite pairs of the first cluster.
Applying this pattern to FCO:
Opposite of F(6) is U(21)
Opposite of C(3) is X(24)
Opposite of O(15) is L(12)
Thus, the related cluster is UXL.
