Question

Find the option that best completes the analogy.

AG : IO :: CM : ?

  1. A. KO
  2. B. KU (Correct answer)
  3. C. KS
  4. D. KW

Correct Answer

Option B — KU

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is KU.

Key Points

  • Each letter shifts +8. In AG → IO: A(1)+8 = I(9) and G(7)+8 = O(15).
  • Apply the same +8 to CM: C(3)+8 = K(11) and M(13)+8 = U(21), giving KU.
  • Confirm the step size on the first pair (here +8 on both letters), then apply it identically to the third term; KO/KS/KW use the wrong second-letter shift.
