The correct answer is
BGJ : AFI

Analyzing the Pattern

The question asks to identify a pair of letter sequences that follows the same pattern as the examples provided. Let's analyze the pattern using the correct option: BGJ : AFI.

We map each letter to its corresponding position in the alphabet:

  • B is the 2nd letter.
  • G is the 7th letter.
  • J is the 10th letter.

Now let's look at the second sequence, AFI:

  • A is the 1st letter.
  • F is the 6th letter.
  • I is the 9th letter.

Comparing the positions:

  • For B (2) -> A (1): The difference is $2 - 1 = 1$.
  • For G (7) -> F (6): The difference is $7 - 6 = 1$.
  • For J (10) -> I (9): The difference is $10 - 9 = 1$.

The pattern is that each letter in the first sequence is replaced by the letter that precedes it in the alphabet (a shift of -1 position).

Applying this pattern:

  • B $\rightarrow$ A (Position $2 \rightarrow 1$)
  • G $\rightarrow$ F (Position $7 \rightarrow 6$)
  • J $\rightarrow$ I (Position $10 \rightarrow 9$)

Therefore, BGJ transforms into AFI by shifting each letter back by one position in the alphabet. This pair follows the identified pattern.
