Question

In each of the following questions, there is a certain relationship between two given letter pairs on one side of (::) and pair is given on another side of (::) where another pair is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relationship with this pair as the pairs of the given pair bear. Choose the best alternative.

CE : VX :: KG : ?

The correct answer is

TP

In this letter-analogy each letter is replaced by its opposite, or complementary, letter, the pairing in which A goes with Z, B with Y, C with X, and so on so that the two positions add up to 27.

Test the model pair CE : VX to fix the exact rule. The opposite of C is X (since 3 + 24 = 27) and the opposite of E is V (since 5 + 22 = 27).

The raw complements come out as X and V, and writing them in reversed order gives V, X, which is precisely the VX shown, confirming that we complement each letter and then reverse the pair.

Now apply the identical rule to KG. The opposite of K is P, because K is the 11th letter and 11 + 16 = 27, placing P at position 16.

The opposite of G is T, because G is the 7th letter and 7 + 20 = 27, placing T at position 20.

The complementary letters are P and T; reversing their order, exactly as CE became VX, gives T, P.

The concept is the letter-complement (opposite-position) relationship combined with a reversal of order, so the pair that replaces the question mark is TP.
