SAP : WET :: ? : XVI
- ATRE

- CSRQ
- DPNR
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us analyze the relationship between the first pair, SAP and WET, by tracking the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet:
S(19)→W(23)⟹+4
A(1)→E(5)⟹+4
P(16)→T(20)⟹+4
Applying the same pattern (−4 from the second term to find the first missing term):
X(24)−4=20→T
V(22)−4=18→R
I(9)−4=5→E
Hence, the missing letters are TRE.
