This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

HJLN

To solve the analogy ZXVT : ACEG :: SQOM : ?, we need to identify the pattern between each pair of letters:

  1. Compare the positions of each letter in the English alphabet:
LetterPosition
Z26
X24
V22
T20

The corresponding letters ACEG have positions:

LetterPosition
A1
C3
E5
G7

Notice the pattern: each letter in the first sequence maps to a letter a certain distance away in the alphabet. The key is to observe the decrement from Z to A, which is a drop of 25 positions, X to C (21 positions down), V to E (17 positions), and T to G (13 positions down).

  1. Apply this pattern to SQOM:
LetterPositionOperationResult
S19-12H (8)
Q17-8J (10)
O15-4L (12)
M13+1N (14)

Thus, SQOM translates to HJLN according to the same skip pattern. Therefore, the answer is HJLN.
