Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as
that on the right side of ::?
# : DHJ :: BFH : %
-
A.
# = KNP, % = VZB
-
B.
# = JNP, % = WZB
-
C.
# = JNP, % = VZO
-
D.
# = JNP, % = VZB
Correct Answer:
D. # = JNP, % = VZB
Explanation:
The pattern involves a consistent shift in the alphabet positions between the letters of the clusters. In the pair # : DHJ, each letter in the first cluster is shifted forward by a certain number to get the second. Specifically, J + 10 = T (not matching), so let's look at the reverse or direct shifts. Using the answer choice # = JNP and % = VZB: J - 6 = D, N - 6 = H, P - 6 = J. Applying the same -6 shift to the second pair: V - 6 = P (not matching). Looking at it as # + 4 = D (J+4=N), the correct logic is a -6 shift for each letter: J(10)-6=D(4), N(14)-6=H(8), P(16)-6=J(10). Applying this to the right side: B(2)-6=V(22), F(6)-6=Z(26), H(8)-6=B(2). Thus, the clusters JNP and VZB satisfy the relationship.
