Question

Find the option that best completes the analogy.

DP : XZ :: EN : ?

1. A. YZ
2. B. YB
3. C. ZB
4. D. YX (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — YX

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is YX.

Key Points

• Compare DP with XZ position by position:
  • D(4) → X(24) is +20
  • P(16) → Z(26) is +10
• Apply the same shifts to EN:
  • E(5) + 20 = Y(25)
  • N(14) + 10 = X(24)
• The answer is YX.

Additional Information

• The two positions move by different amounts, which is the point of the question — a single shift applied to both letters produces one of the distractors.
• Neither shift wraps here, but always check: any total above 26 must have 26 subtracted.
• Verify a proposed rule on both letters of the worked pair before applying it. A rule confirmed on the first letter alone is exactly how the wrong options are designed to look plausible.
