Letter Clusters and Relations Quiz

Select the missing term based on the given related pair of letter clusters. BFK: IMR:: DGP : .............

• KWN

• KNZ

• KNW

• WNK

Answer explanation

To find the missing term, observe the pattern in the letter clusters. Each letter in BFK shifts to the corresponding letter in IMR. Applying the same shifts to DGP gives us K (D+7), N (G+7), W (P+7), resulting in KNW.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? BFIJ: DHKІ

• NVSQ

• NQSV

• NQVS

• NSQV

Answer explanation

The relation BFIJ: DHKІ involves shifting letters. Each letter in BFIJ is shifted forward by a certain number to get DHKІ. Following the same pattern, NQSV is derived from the same shifting logic, making it the correct choice.

Find the missing term for the related pair of letter clusters. RAMA: MARA:: SITA::...

• TSAI

• Q

• SIAT

• TISA

Answer explanation

The relationship between RAMA and MARA involves reversing the order of letters. Applying the same logic to SITA, we reverse it to get TISA, which matches the correct answer.

Select the missing term from the related pair of letter clusters: BEAK: EIFQ : : SAIL:

• REN

• VREN

• VENR

• VERN

Answer explanation

To find the missing term, observe the pattern: each letter in BEAK shifts forward by 3 positions to form EIFQ. Applying the same shift to SAIL gives VENR, making it the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? MOQ: STW :: ACE:?

• KIH

• HKG

• HIK

• GHK

Answer explanation

To find the relation, observe the letter shifts: M(13) to S(19) is +6, O(15) to T(20) is +5, and Q(17) to W(23) is +6. Applying the same shifts to ACE: A(1)+6=G(7), C(3)+5=H(8), E(5)+6=K(11) gives GHK. Thus, the answer is GHK.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? VMR: ZIS : : AKT

• PRQ

• QRP

• RQP

• YZX

Answer explanation

The relation VMR: ZIS involves a backward shift of letters in the alphabet. Applying the same shift to AKT gives us RQP, as A to R is a backward shift of 17, K to Q is 6, and T to P is 4. Thus, RQP is the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? RAT: SDY: : BAD:? TEF: UGH :: KPQ: ?

• CDI

• BFL

• LFB

• DCI

Answer explanation

To find the relation, observe the letter shifts: R to S (+1), A to D (+3), T to Y (+5). Applying the same shifts to B: B to E (+3), A to F (+5), D to L (+7) gives BFL. Thus, BAD: BFL is the correct completion.

Which word would best complete the relation given below? BPC: COD : : RIS: ?

• SKT

• TJS

• TKS

• SJT

Answer explanation

The relation BPC: COD involves shifting each letter back by 1 in the alphabet. Applying the same shift to RIS gives us SJT, making it the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? BH: JP :: FK: ?

• NT

• MS

• OT

• NS

Answer explanation

The relation BH: JP shows a pattern where each letter is shifted forward in the alphabet. B to J is +6, H to P is +8. Applying the same shifts to FK: NS, F to N is +8, K to S is +8. Thus, the answer is NS.

Select the pair that represents the same relation as the pair given below. ABD: EGH

• IKL: NRT

• OPR : UTY

• IJL: MOP

• GFH: IPR

Answer explanation

The relation in ABD: EGH involves shifting each letter forward by 4 positions in the alphabet. Applying the same shift to OPR gives us UTY, making OPR: UTY the correct choice. Other pairs do not maintain this consistent shift.
