JK:QR:::?
This is an analogy question. We need to find the relationship between JK and QR, and then apply that same relationship to find the correct pair.
Step 1: Analyze the relationship between JK and QR.
Let's look at the alphabetical positions of the letters:
- J is the 10th letter.
- K is the 11th letter.
- Q is the 17th letter.
- R is the 18th letter.
Notice that the difference between J and Q is 7 (17 - 10 = 7), and the difference between K and R is also 7 (18 - 11 = 7). The pattern is a consistent gap of 7 letters between each pair.
Step 2: Apply the pattern to find the related pair.
We need to find a pair of letters that have a gap of 7 letters between them.
- Option 1 (ST:UV): S is 19, T is 20, U is 21, V is 22. The difference is only 1.
- Option 2 (WX:ZY): W is 23, X is 24, Y is 25, Z is 26. The difference is only 1.
- Option 3 (BC:IJ): B is 2, C is 3, I is 9, J is 10. The difference is 7 (9-2=7 and 10-3=7).
- Option 4 (MN:OR): M is 13, N is 14, O is 15, R is 18. The difference is inconsistent.
Step 3: Identify the correct answer.
Only option 3 (BC:IJ) follows the same pattern as JK:QR, maintaining a consistent difference of 7 letters.
Therefore, the correct answer is BC:IJ.
