Question

Find the option that best completes the analogy.

EK :: MS :: FP : ?

1. A. ND
2. B. NL
3. C. NX (Correct answer)
4. D. NT

Correct Answer

Option C — NX

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is NX.

Key Points

• Compare the given pairs position by position:
  • E → M is a shift of +8 (E = 5, M = 13)
  • K → S is also +8 (K = 11, S = 19)
• Applying the same +8 to F and P:
  • F (6) + 8 = N (14)
  • P (16) + 8 = X (24)
• The answer is NX.

Additional Information

• Letter analogies are best solved in numbers: convert to positions, find the difference, then convert back. Working with letters alone invites miscounting.
• The alphabet wraps, so a shift running past Z restarts at A — subtract 26 where the position exceeds it.
• Useful anchors for quick conversion: A=1, E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20, Y=25, Z=26. Memorising these five checkpoints makes any letter's position reachable in a step or two.
