In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding / subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Correct Answer:
B. 69, 66.2
Explanation:
The logic follows a consistent subtraction of 4 from the alphabetical position of each letter. For SKIB to OGNG: S(19)-4=O(15), K(11)-4=G(7), I(9)-4=E(5), and B(2)-4=X(24). Note that B scrolls back to X. Applying this same -4 pattern to QIRK: Q(17)-4=M(13), I(9)-4=E(5), R(18)-4=N(14), and K(11)-4=G(7). However, evaluating the provided options against the pattern used in the second example CUCV to YQHA (C-4=Y, U-4=Q, C-4=Y, V-4=R), we apply the same shifts to QIRK: Q-4=M, I-4=E, R-4=N, and K-4=G. Based on the options provided, the closest logical match following a shift pattern is MEWP.
