Question

In each of the following questions, the second word is formed by rearranging the letters of the first word according to a specific pattern. Apply the same pattern to the third word to determine the correct answer from the given alternatives.

NUMBER : UNBMRE :: GHOST : ?

1. A. HGOST
2. B. HOGST
3. C. HGSOT (Correct answer)
4. D. HOGTS

Correct Answer

Option C — HGSOT

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is HGSOT.

Key Points

• Compare NUMBER with UNBMRE in pairs:
  • N U → U N, M B → B M, E R → R E
• The rule is to swap each adjacent pair of letters, working left to right.
• GHOST has five letters, so the first two pairs swap and the last letter has no partner:
  • G H → H G, O S → S O, T remains T
• The result is H G S O T.

Additional Information

• With an odd number of letters, the final letter always stays in place — that single detail separates the correct option from HOGTS, which moves it.
• Rearrangement codes leave the letters unchanged and move only their positions; alphabetical shifting is a different family, so check first whether the letter set is identical.
• The reliable method is to number the source positions 1-6, write where each lands (2,1,4,3,6,5 here), then apply that map to the new word. It removes the guesswork entirely.
