Select the related letters from the given alternatives.
ABCD : HYXE :: MNOP : ?
- ATKJQ
- BTLJQ
- CTKQJ
- DTLQJ
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us analyze the relationship between the first pair: ABCD→HYXE.
We trace the positional shifts of each letter in the alphabet:
A
+7
H
B
+23 or −3
Y
C
+21 or −5
X
D
+1
E
Applying the same specific pattern to MNOP:
M(13)+7=20→T
N(14)−3=11→K
O(15)−5=10→J
P(16)+1=17→Q
Thus, MNOP becomes TKJQ.
