KSW: NUX :: AGP: DIQ :: EOV : ?
Letter Cluster Relationship Analysis
This question involves identifying a pattern or relationship between pairs of letter clusters and applying that same pattern to find a missing element.
We are given two examples of the relationship:
- KSW : NUX
- AGP : DIQ
We need to find the cluster that relates to EOV in the same way.
KSW to NUX Pattern
Let's examine the relationship between KSW and NUX by looking at the positions of the letters in the alphabet:
- K is the 11th letter. N is the 14th letter. The difference is $14 - 11 = 3$. So, K + 3 letters = N.
- S is the 19th letter. U is the 21st letter. The difference is $21 - 19 = 2$. So, S + 2 letters = U.
- W is the 23rd letter. X is the 24th letter. The difference is $24 - 23 = 1$. So, W + 1 letter = X.
The pattern observed is: Add 3 to the first letter, add 2 to the second letter, and add 1 to the third letter.
AGP to DIQ Relation
Let's verify this pattern with the second pair, AGP to DIQ:
- A is the 1st letter. D is the 4th letter. The difference is $4 - 1 = 3$. So, A + 3 letters = D.
- G is the 7th letter. I is the 9th letter. The difference is $9 - 7 = 2$. So, G + 2 letters = I.
- P is the 16th letter. Q is the 17th letter. The difference is $17 - 16 = 1$. So, P + 1 letter = Q.
The pattern (+3, +2, +1) holds true for the second pair as well.
EOV Pattern Application
Now, we apply the same pattern (+3, +2, +1) to the third cluster, EOV:
- First letter: E is the 5th letter. Applying +3: $5 + 3 = 8$. The 8th letter is H.
- Second letter: O is the 15th letter. Applying +2: $15 + 2 = 17$. The 17th letter is Q.
- Third letter: V is the 22nd letter. Applying +1: $22 + 1 = 23$. The 23rd letter is W.
Combining these results, the missing letter cluster is HQW.
Conclusion: Identifying the Missing Cluster
By analyzing the relationship in the first two pairs (KSW:NUX and AGP:DIQ), we found a consistent pattern of adding 3, 2, and 1 to the positions of the letters, respectively. Applying this pattern to EOV yields the result HQW.
Therefore, the option related to EOV in the same way is HQW.
Important Questions from Analogy
Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number.
12 : 60 :: 16 : ?
Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number.
16 : 144 :: 28 : ?
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(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 / subtracting /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)
