This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
IKUS

The question asks to find the term related to HMRW in the same way GJST is related to FLPX.

Analyzing the Letter Relationship

First, let's determine the pattern between the first pair of terms: FLPX and GJST.

  • F to G: Move 1 step forward in the alphabet (F + 1 = G).
  • L to J: Move 2 steps backward in the alphabet (L - 2 = J).
  • P to S: Move 3 steps forward in the alphabet (P + 3 = S).
  • X to T: Move 4 steps backward in the alphabet (X - 4 = T).

The pattern observed is: +1, -2, +3, -4.

Applying the Pattern to HMRW

Now, we apply the same +1, -2, +3, -4 pattern to the letters in HMRW:

  • H + 1 step = I
  • M - 2 steps = K
  • R + 3 steps = U
  • W - 4 steps = S

Combining these resulting letters gives us the term IKUS.

Conclusion

Therefore, the term related to HMRW in the specified manner is IKUS, which matches Option 1.
