Question
Find the best option that best completes the analogy.
NPR : OQS :: XYZ : ?
- A. YZA (Correct answer)
- B. ZAB
- C. YAC
- 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.
