In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. DFH : HFD :: QSU : ?
USQ
This question asks us to find the relationship between the first pair of letters and apply the same relationship to the second term to find the missing letters. This is a common type of letter analogy problem.
Let's look at the first pair given: DFH and HFD.
We can observe that the letters in HFD are the same as the letters in DFH, but their order is changed. Let's examine the positions:
So, the pattern here is that the sequence of letters is simply reversed.
| Position in DFH | Letter | Position in HFD |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | D | 3rd |
| 2nd | F | 2nd |
| 3rd | H | 1st |
Now we need to apply the same reversal pattern to the letters QSU.
Following the reversal pattern:
Arranging these letters in the new order (U, S, Q) gives us the sequence USQ.
| Position in QSU | Letter | Position in New Sequence |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Q | 3rd |
| 2nd | S | 2nd |
| 3rd | U | 1st |
Let's compare our derived sequence USQ with the given options:
Therefore, the letters related to QSU in the same way DFH is related to HFD are USQ.
The relationship is a simple reversal of the letters in the sequence. Applying this to QSU gives USQ.
| Original Sequence | Transformation | Resulting Sequence |
|---|---|---|
| DFH | Reverse the order of letters | HFD |
| QSU | Reverse the order of letters | USQ |
Letter analogies often involve patterns based on:
To solve letter analogy problems, carefully examine the first pair to identify the rule or pattern and then apply that rule to the second term.
Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.
PDK : QFN :: SJQ : ?
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
FASTER : AEFRST :: KINGDOM : ?
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
PRACTISE : ACEIPRST :: TECHNOLOGY : ?
Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter cluster.
RJB : TGF :: QPG : ?
Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)
