Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us examine the relationship between the letters in the first pair:
The letters L and O are pairs of opposite letters in the alphabet (Position of L from start=12, Position of O from end=12).
The letters K and P are also pairs of opposite letters (Position of K from start=11, Position of P from end=11).
Following the same logic for the second pair, we need to find the opposite letters for U and V:
The opposite letter of U is F.
The opposite letter of V is E.
Since FE is not in the options, let us look at an alternative positional shift logic:
L(12)→O(15)⟹+3
K(11)→P(16)⟹+5
Applying this reverse shift logic to find the first term from UV:
x+3=U(21)⟹x=18→R
y+5=V(22)⟹y=17→Q
Thus, the missing letters are RQ.
