OL-QN-SU
LI-NK-PR
This question tests your ability to identify and apply a specific letter pattern across different triads. We need to find the triad that follows the same logical sequence as the examples provided.
Understanding the Given Triads
We are given two sample triads:
- Triad 1: OL - QN - SU
- Triad 2: LI - NK - PR
The goal is to find which of the given options follows the same pattern.
Analyzing the Pattern: First Letters
Let's examine the sequence of the first letters in each pair within the triads:
- Triad 1: O, Q, S
- Triad 2: L, N, P
We convert these letters to their corresponding positions in the alphabet:
- Triad 1 First Letters: O (15), Q (17), S (19)
- Triad 2 First Letters: L (12), N (14), P (16)
Observing the numerical sequence:
- For Triad 1: $15 \rightarrow 17$ (Difference is $+2$), $17 \rightarrow 19$ (Difference is $+2$).
- For Triad 2: $12 \rightarrow 14$ (Difference is $+2$), $14 \rightarrow 16$ (Difference is $+2$).
The pattern for the first letters is consistent: add 2 to the alphabetical position to get the next first letter.
Analyzing the Pattern: Second Letters
Now, let's examine the sequence of the second letters in each pair within the triads:
- Triad 1: L, N, U
- Triad 2: I, K, R
Converting these letters to their alphabetical positions:
- Triad 1 Second Letters: L (12), N (14), U (21)
- Triad 2 Second Letters: I (9), K (11), R (18)
Observing the numerical sequence:
- For Triad 1: $12 \rightarrow 14$ (Difference is $+2$), $14 \rightarrow 21$ (Difference is $+7$).
- For Triad 2: $9 \rightarrow 11$ (Difference is $+2$), $11 \rightarrow 18$ (Difference is $+7$).
The pattern for the second letters is also consistent: add 2 to the alphabetical position for the second pair, and then add 7 for the third pair.
Applying the Pattern to the Options
Let's test the options against the identified pattern (First letters: +2, +2; Second letters: +2, +7):
| Option | First Letters (Pos) | Pattern Check (First) | Second Letters (Pos) | Pattern Check (Second) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. SO-TR-VY | S(19), T(20), V(22) | $19 \rightarrow 20 (+1)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), R(18), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 18 (+3)$, $18 \rightarrow 25 (+7)$ | Fails |
| 2. RO-TQ-VX | R(18), T(20), V(22) | $18 \rightarrow 20 (+2)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), X(24) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 24 (+7)$ | Matches |
| 3. RO-TQ-VY | R(18), T(20), V(22) | $18 \rightarrow 20 (+2)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 25 (+8)$ | Fails |
| 4. SO-TQ-VY | S(19), T(20), V(22) | $19 \rightarrow 20 (+1)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 25 (+8)$ | Fails |
Conclusion
Option 2, RO-TQ-VX, perfectly follows the established pattern:
- First letters R, T, V correspond to positions 18, 20, 22 ($18+2=20$, $20+2=22$).
- Second letters O, Q, X correspond to positions 15, 17, 24 ($15+2=17$, $17+7=24$).
Therefore, RO-TQ-VX is the triad that follows the same pattern.
Important Questions from Reasoning Analogy
Directions for the following 8 (eight) items: Read the following six passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage –1 Low-end IoT (Internet of Things) devices are cheap commodity items: addressing security would add to the cost. This class of items is proliferating with new applications; many home appliances, thermostats, security and monitoring devices and personal convenience devices are part of the IoT. So are fitness trackers, certain medical implants and computer-like devices in automobiles. The IoT is expected to expand exponentially — but new security challenges are daunting.
Which one of the following statements is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
With the digital phenomenon restructuring most social sectors, it is little surprise that global trade negotiations are now eyeing the digital area in an attempt to pre-emptively colonise it. Big Data is freely collected or mined from developing countries, and converted into digital intelligence in developed countries. This intelligence begins to control different sectors and extract monopoly rents. A large foreign company providing cab service, for instance, is not a work of cars and drivers, it is digital intelligence about commuting, public transport, roads, traffic, city events, presonal behavioural characteristics of commuters and driver and so on.

Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?
The rural poor across the world, including India, have contributed little to human-induced climate change, yet they are on the frontline in coping with its effects. Farmers can no longer rely on historical averages for rainfall and temperature, and the more frequent and extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, can spell disaster. And there are new threats, such as sea level rise and the impact of melting glaciers on water supply. How significant are small farms? As many as two billion peopre worldwide depend on them for their food and livelihood. Small-holder farmers in India produce 41 percent of the country's food grains, and other food items that contribute to local and national food security.
