BG : DJ :: FM : ?
Letter Analogy Logic Explained
This question is a letter analogy, requiring us to identify the pattern between the first pair of letters (BG : DJ) and apply it to the second pair (FM : ?).
Analyzing the First Pair: BG : DJ
We examine the relationship between B and D, and G and J based on their positions in the alphabet:
- B is the 2nd letter. D is the 4th letter. The difference is $4 - 2 = +2$.
- G is the 7th letter. J is the 10th letter. The difference is $10 - 7 = +3$.
The pattern is: Add 2 to the position of the first letter and add 3 to the position of the second letter.
Applying the Pattern to FM : ?
Now we apply the identified pattern ($+2$ for the first letter, $+3$ for the second letter) to FM:
- F is the 6th letter. Applying the $+2$ pattern: $6 + 2 = 8$. The 8th letter is H.
- M is the 13th letter. Applying the $+3$ pattern: $13 + 3 = 16$. The 16th letter is P.
Therefore, the missing pair is HP.
Conclusion
Following the established pattern, FM corresponds to HP.
