Question

In the following question, select the related letter pair from the given alternatives.

MOL : TVS :: ? : ?

The correct answer is

NAP : UHW

The question asks to find a related letter pair based on the given analogy: MOL : TVS :: ? : ?

Analogy Pattern Identification

First, let's determine the relationship between the letters in the first pair, MOL and TVS.

  • Find the position of each letter in the alphabet:
    • M = 13, O = 15, L = 12
    • T = 20, V = 22, S = 19
  • Calculate the difference in positions between corresponding letters:
    • T (20) - M (13) = 7
    • V (22) - O (15) = 7
    • S (19) - L (12) = 7

The pattern is to add 7 to the alphabetical position of each letter in the first word to get the corresponding letter in the second word.

Applying Pattern to Options

Now, let's test the options using this pattern (add 7 to each letter's position):

  1. NAP : UHW
    • N (14) + 7 = 21 (U)
    • A (1) + 7 = 8 (H)
    • P (16) + 7 = 23 (W)

    This pair (NAP : UHW) matches the pattern.

  2. NAP : CHK
    • N (14) + 7 = 21 (U). The second pair has C (3). This does not match.
  3. NOT : UHW
    • O (15) + 7 = 22 (V). The second pair has H (8). This does not match.
  4. NOT : HFG
    • N (14) + 7 = 21 (U). The second pair has H (8). This does not match.

Conclusion

The letter pair NAP : UHW follows the identified pattern of adding 7 to the alphabetical position of each letter.
