The correct answer is

PON

To solve the analogy EFG : VUT :: ?, we first observe the relationship between the given pairs of letters.

Notice that the order of the letters in the alphabet plays a crucial role. Let's relate each letter in the first pair to their corresponding letter in the second pair:

  • E is the 5th letter of the alphabet, and V is the 22nd. Observe that when you sum the positions: 5 + 22 = 27, which is the maximum sum possible, assuming no letter's position exceeds beyond 26.
  • F is the 6th letter, and U is the 21st. Similarly, 6 + 21 = 27.
  • G is the 7th letter, and T is the 20th. Again, 7 + 20 = 27.

Now, apply this pattern to figure out the analogous set for the options provided.

Let's verify for each option:

  • KJH:
    • K (11th) + ? ≠ 27 with any backward letter; does not fit pattern.
  • PON:
    • P (16th) + K (11th) = 27
    • O (15th) + L (12th) = 27
    • N (14th) + M (13th) = 27

    This option follows the pattern correctly as each sum equals 27.

  • 2XY:
    • Numbers involved; irrelevant to alphabet pattern.
  • FDC:
    • F (6th) + ? ≠ 27 with any backward letter; does not fit pattern.

Therefore, the correct analogous answer is PON.
