Question

In each of the following questions, the second group of letters is formed from the first using a specific alphabetical transformation. Apply the same pattern to the third group and find the correct option that completes the analogy.

QDXM : SFYN :: UIOZ : ?

1. A. PAQM
2. B. LPWA
3. C. QNLA
4. D. WKPA (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — WKPA

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is WKPA.

Key Points

• Compare QDXM with SFYN position by position:
  • Q(17) → S(19) is +2, D(4) → F(6) is +2
  • X(24) → Y(25) is +1, M(13) → N(14) is +1
• The pattern is +2, +2, +1, +1. Applying it to UIOZ:
  • U(21) + 2 = W(23)
  • I(9) + 2 = K(11)
  • O(15) + 1 = P(16)
  • Z(26) + 1 = A (wrapping past Z)
• The answer is WKPA.

Additional Information

• The wrap from Z to A is the decisive step; every distractor avoids it, so recognising that the alphabet is circular settles the question.
• Mixed shifts within one group are common — check all four positions rather than assuming the step found at the start applies throughout.
• The general method: convert to numbers, subtract to find each shift, confirm the shifts on the second word of the worked pair, then apply them to the third.
