Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.
DE : LM :: ? : PQ

  1. A
    HI
  2. B
    DE
  3. C
    RS
  4. D
    TU

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check the positional difference in the first pair: DE:LM
D=4, E=5
L=12, M=13

The difference between the first letters: 12−4=8
The difference between the second letters: 13−5=8

Now, let's find the missing pair that relates to PQ with the same difference:
P=16, Q=17

Subtracting 8 from each position:
First letter: 16−8=8⟹H
Second letter: 17−8=9⟹I

Hence, the required pair is HI.
