Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
MEN: NVM :: OUT: LFG :: JOB:?
- ARJY
- BRKX
- CQKW
- DQLY
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relationship using positional pairs of opposite letters (where the sum of positions of opposite letters is 27):
First pair: MEN → NVM
Opposite of M is N
Opposite of E is V
Opposite of N is M
Thus, the code consists of the exact opposite letters.
Second pair: OUT → LFG
Opposite of O is L
Opposite of U is F
Opposite of T is G
This confirms the opposite-letter logic.
Applying the same logic to JOB:
Opposite of J is Q (since 10+17=27)
Opposite of O is L (since 15+12=27)
Opposite of B is Y (since 2+25=27)
The resulting cluster is QLY.
