GPI : IMK
NQJ : PNL

RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Mechanic Motor Vehicle Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is
CZS : EWU

Logical Reasoning: Pattern Identification

The question requires identifying a pair (X : Y) that follows the same logical pattern demonstrated by the given pairs: GPI : IMKNQJ and IMKNQJ : PNL. We need to deduce the pattern and apply it.

Analyzing the Pattern

We examine the relationship between the letters based on their alphabetical positions.

Step 1: Deduce Pattern from Correct Option

Let's analyze the transformation in the correct option: CZS to EWU.

  • First letters: C (position 3) to E (position 5). The shift is \(5 - 3 = +2\).
  • Second letters: Z (position 26) to W (position 23). The shift is \(23 - 26 = -3\).
  • Third letters: S (position 19) to U (position 21). The shift is \(21 - 19 = +2\).

The pattern derived is (+2, -3, +2) applied sequentially to the letters of the initial term.

Step 2: Relate Pattern to Given Example

Now, let's check if this pattern applies to the first given pair: GPI.

  • Applying +2 to G (position 7): \(7 + 2 = 9\), which is I.
  • Applying -3 to P (position 16): \(16 - 3 = 13\), which is M.
  • Applying +2 to I (position 9): \(9 + 2 = 11\), which is K.

The pattern (+2, -3, +2) transforms GPI into IMK. This matches the first three letters of the intermediate term IMKNQJ.

While the full sequence IMKNQJ and the subsequent transformation to PNL might involve more complex rules, the core pattern (+2, -3, +2) is consistent between the deduced pattern from the answer and the initial part of the first example pair.

Step 3: Final Determination

The pair CZS : EWU clearly follows the identified pattern of shifts (+2, -3, +2).
