In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. SWA : UYC :: FJN :?
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.

Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
MJPT, PGMW, SDJZ, ?, YXDF
In the following question, select the related letter pair from the given alternatives.
CP : ES :: ?
Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
PENSION: NENSIOP :: QUALITY: YUALITQ :: PRODUCT:?Select the pair in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as are the numbers in the given pairs. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
3 : 25
4 : 62Select 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) Frivolous : Big :: Deride : ?
