Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
CJFJ
This question is a letter analogy puzzle. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair of terms (VEGT and SHJQ) and apply the same relationship to the third term (FGCM) to find the missing fourth term.
Let's look at the correspondence between the letters in VEGT and SHJQ:
| VEGT | SHJQ | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| V | S | V is the 22nd letter, S is the 19th letter. $19 - 22 = -3$ (move 3 steps back) |
| E | H | E is the 5th letter, H is the 8th letter. $8 - 5 = +3$ (move 3 steps forward) |
| G | J | G is the 7th letter, J is the 10th letter. $10 - 7 = +3$ (move 3 steps forward) |
| T | Q | T is the 20th letter, Q is the 17th letter. $17 - 20 = -3$ (move 3 steps back) |
The pattern observed is that the letters in the second term are derived from the corresponding letters in the first term by applying a shift in their alphabetical position: -3, +3, +3, -3.
Now, let's apply this pattern to the third term, FGCM, to find the fourth term.
Following this pattern, FGCM transforms into CJFJ.
Let's compare our result with the given options:
Our calculated term, CJFJ, matches option 3.
The analogy holds with the pattern of letter shifts: VEGT related to SHJQ by (-3, +3, +3, -3) shift, and FGCM related to CJFJ by the same (-3, +3, +3, -3) shift.
| Original Letter | Position | Shift | New Position | Resulting Letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V | 22 | -3 | 19 | S |
| E | 5 | +3 | 8 | H |
| G | 7 | +3 | 10 | J |
| T | 20 | -3 | 17 | Q |
| F | 6 | -3 | 3 | C |
| G | 7 | +3 | 10 | J |
| C | 3 | +3 | 6 | F |
| M | 13 | -3 | 10 | J |
Analogy questions test your ability to find relationships between pairs of words, letters, numbers, or symbols. For letter analogies, common patterns include:
To solve these, it's helpful to know the alphabetical position of each letter. Writing down the alphabet or using a table can assist in quickly identifying the pattern. Always test your hypothesized pattern on the first pair before applying it to the second pair.
