KNR: HKS
TGK: QDL
Identifying the Alphabetical Pattern
The question asks us to find a pair of words that follows the same pattern as the given pairs. We are given the first pair as KNR : HKSTGK and one of the options is the correct match. Let's analyze the relationship between letters based on their position in the alphabet.
We need to determine the specific rule or transformation applied from the first word to the second word in a pair.
Analyzing the Correct Pair: FXL : CUM
Let's examine the relationship between the letters in the pair FXL and CUM, as this is indicated to be the correct match.
- F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.
- X is the 24th letter of the alphabet.
- L is the 12th letter of the alphabet.
- C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.
- U is the 21st letter of the alphabet.
- M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
Now, let's find the transformation:
- For the first letter: F (6) becomes C (3). The change is $6 - 3 = 3$. So, the first letter shifts back by 3 positions.
- For the second letter: X (24) becomes U (21). The change is $24 - 3 = 21$. So, the second letter also shifts back by 3 positions.
- For the third letter: L (12) becomes M (13). The change is $12 + 1 = 13$. So, the third letter shifts forward by 1 position.
The pattern identified is: First Letter - 3, Second Letter - 3, Third Letter + 1.
Verifying the Pattern with Other Options
Let's check if other options follow this pattern:
- LOQ : FJU
L(12) -> 12-3=9(I) != F(6). Pattern fails. - HMI : DKL
H(8) -> 8-3=5(E) != D(4). Pattern fails. - GCP : EHR
G(7) -> 7-3=4(D) != E(5). Pattern fails.
Only the pair FXL : CUM correctly follows the derived pattern.
Applying the Pattern to KNR (for context)
Although not needed to select the answer, let's see how the pattern applies to KNR:
- K (11th letter): $11 - 3 = 8$. 8th letter is H.
- N (14th letter): $14 - 3 = 11$. 11th letter is K.
- R (18th letter): $18 + 1 = 19$. 19th letter is S.
This results in HKS. The given pair is KNR : HKSTGK. The first three letters (HKS) match our derived pattern. The additional letters (TGK) in the second part of the first pair suggest a more complex rule or potential inconsistency in the example, but the core pattern is confirmed by the options.
Conclusion
The pair FXL : CUM perfectly follows the identified alphabetical pattern of shifting letters by specific positions: the first letter shifts back by 3, the second letter shifts back by 3, and the third letter shifts forward by 1.

Directions for the following 8 (eight) items: Read the following six passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage –1 Low-end IoT (Internet of Things) devices are cheap commodity items: addressing security would add to the cost. This class of items is proliferating with new applications; many home appliances, thermostats, security and monitoring devices and personal convenience devices are part of the IoT. So are fitness trackers, certain medical implants and computer-like devices in automobiles. The IoT is expected to expand exponentially — but new security challenges are daunting.
Which one of the following statements is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
With the digital phenomenon restructuring most social sectors, it is little surprise that global trade negotiations are now eyeing the digital area in an attempt to pre-emptively colonise it. Big Data is freely collected or mined from developing countries, and converted into digital intelligence in developed countries. This intelligence begins to control different sectors and extract monopoly rents. A large foreign company providing cab service, for instance, is not a work of cars and drivers, it is digital intelligence about commuting, public transport, roads, traffic, city events, presonal behavioural characteristics of commuters and driver and so on.

Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?
The rural poor across the world, including India, have contributed little to human-induced climate change, yet they are on the frontline in coping with its effects. Farmers can no longer rely on historical averages for rainfall and temperature, and the more frequent and extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, can spell disaster. And there are new threats, such as sea level rise and the impact of melting glaciers on water supply. How significant are small farms? As many as two billion peopre worldwide depend on them for their food and livelihood. Small-holder farmers in India produce 41 percent of the country's food grains, and other food items that contribute to local and national food security.
