Question

Find the best option that best completes the analogy.

NPR : OQS :: XYZ : ?

  1. A. YZA (Correct answer)
  2. B. ZAB
  3. C. YAC
  4. D. YAZ

Correct Answer

Option A — YZA

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is YZA.

Key Points

  • NPR → OQS shifts every letter forward by one: N→O, P→Q, R→S.
  • Apply the same +1 to XYZ: X→Y, Y→Z, and Z wraps round to A.
  • The answer is YZA — the same three consecutive letters, each moved one step on.

Additional Information

  • The wrap from Z back to A is the entire difficulty; treat the alphabet as a 26-letter cycle.
  • ZAB is the trap for anyone who shifts by one *cluster* rather than by one letter.
  • Check the step on every letter of the given pair before applying it — a rule that fits two letters out of three is the wrong rule.
