Analogy: Letter Pattern Explained

This question involves finding a relationship between pairs of letter groups, a common task in logical reasoning assessments.

We are given that SWA corresponds to UYC. Our goal is to determine the corresponding group for FJN using the same logical rule.

Pattern: SWA to UYC Analysis

Let's examine the transformation from SWA to UYC by looking at the alphabetical positions:

• Alphabet positions: A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26.

First Letter Comparison:

• S is the 19th letter.
• U is the 21st letter.
• Difference: $21 - 19 = 2$.

Second Letter Comparison:

• W is the 23rd letter.
• Y is the 25th letter.
• Difference: $25 - 23 = 2$.

Third Letter Comparison:

• A is the 1st letter.
• C is the 3rd letter.
• Difference: $3 - 1 = 2$.

The consistent pattern found is a shift of +2 for each letter from SWA to UYC.

Application: FJN Transformation

We now apply this identified +2 shift pattern to the group FJN.

• F (6th letter) + 2 positions = 8th letter = H.
• J (10th letter) + 2 positions = 12th letter = L.
• N (14th letter) + 2 positions = 16th letter = P.

Thus, FJN transforms into HLP.

Derivation: Result for FJN

Based on the consistent +2 alphabetical shift pattern observed in the first pair (SWA : UYC), the corresponding letter group for FJN is HLP.

This result matches option 4.
