QTU
This question tests your ability to identify patterns in alphabetical sequences. Let's analyze the given analogy:
BEF : GJK
Notice the pattern: Each letter in the second set (GJK) is four positions ahead of the corresponding letter in the first set (BEF) in the alphabet. Specifically:
- B + 4 = F
- E + 4 = I
- F + 4 = J
Following this pattern, let's find the solution for LOP : ?
Applying the same +4 rule:
- L + 4 = P
- O + 4 = S
- P + 4 = T
Therefore, the sequence becomes LOP : PST. However, PST is not one of the options. Let's re-examine the original analogy more closely. Instead of a simple +4, we see the pattern is that each subsequent letter is advanced by three places:
- B (+3) = E (+3) = H (+3) = K (+3) = N
- E (+3) = H (+3) = K (+3) = N (+3) = Q
- F (+3) = I (+3) = L (+3) = O (+3) = R
Looking at the given options, we can see that only QTU fits this pattern.
- L + 4 = P
- O + 4 = S
- P + 4 = T
This isn't the initial +4 rule. Instead, we must examine the difference between the series:
Series 1: BEF (B + 1 = E, E + 1 = F)
Series 2: GJK (G + 1 = J, J + 1 = K)
Therefore, to solve LOP we would have: L + 3 = O, O + 3 = R. The series would then be LOP : QTU.
Therefore, the correct answer is QTU.
