FOX: FPY:: JAR:?
Understanding the Alphabetical Pattern
The question presents a word analogy problem. We need to figure out the relationship between the letters in the first pair of words, 'FOX' and 'FPY', and then apply the same relationship to the third word, 'JAR', to find the missing fourth word.
Analyzing the Pattern: FOX to FPY
Let's look at each letter position in 'FOX' and compare it to 'FPY':
- First Letter: 'F' remains 'F'.
- Second Letter: 'O' changes to 'P'. 'P' is the next letter after 'O' in the English alphabet.
- Third Letter: 'X' changes to 'Y'. 'Y' is the next letter after 'X' in the English alphabet.
So, the pattern identified is: The first letter stays the same, while the second and third letters advance by one position in the alphabet.
Applying the Pattern to JAR
Now, let's apply this exact pattern to the word 'JAR':
- First Letter: 'J' will remain 'J'.
- Second Letter: 'A' will advance by one position. The letter after 'A' is 'B'. So, 'A' becomes 'B'. (Mathematically, A + 1 = B)
- Third Letter: 'R' will advance by one position. The letter after 'R' is 'S'. So, 'R' becomes 'S'. (Mathematically, R + 1 = S)
Combining these results, the word 'JAR' transforms into 'JBS' based on the established alphabetical pattern.
Identifying the Correct Option
Comparing our result 'JBS' with the given options:
- 1. KCS
- 2. JBS
- 3. JAR
- 4. OEI
The derived word 'JBS' matches option 2.
