‘RUCK’ is related to ‘TWAI’ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ‘DPHM’ is related to ‘FRFK’. To which of the following is ‘KNOM’ related, following the same logic?

SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

MPMK

To solve the analogy in the given problem, let us first examine the pattern between the words 'RUCK' and 'TWAI'. We will observe the shifts in the letters and apply the same logic to 'DPHM' and 'KNOM' to find the corresponding related word.

  1. Identify the forward shifts in each letter:
    • 'R' to 'T': The letter 'R' is shifted 2 positions forward in the alphabet to 'T'.
    • 'U' to 'W': The letter 'U' is shifted 2 positions forward to 'W'.
    • 'C' to 'A': The letter 'C' is shifted 24 positions backward to 'A'. (since 'C' is 3rd and 'A' is 1st, backward)
    • 'K' to 'I': The letter 'K' is shifted 2 positions backward to 'I'.
  2. Applying the same logic to 'DPHM':
    • 'D' to 'F': Shift 'D' 2 positions forward to get 'F'.
    • 'P' to 'R': Shift 'P' 2 positions forward to get 'R'.
    • 'H' to 'F': Shift 'H' 24 positions backward to get 'F'. (since 'H' is 8th and 'F' is 6th, backward)
    • 'M' to 'K': Shift 'M' 2 positions backward to get 'K'.
  3. Applying the same pattern to 'KNOM':
    • 'K' shifts 2 positions forward to 'M'.
    • 'N' shifts 2 positions forward to 'P'.
    • 'O' shifts 24 positions backward to 'M'.
    • 'M' shifts 2 positions backward to 'K'.

Thus, following the logic, ‘KNOM’ is related to ‘MPMK’.
