This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
E

The problem involves identifying the letter that completes the given pattern. Let's analyze the pattern to identify the logic:

Observe the pairs of letters:

  • D and W
  • I and R
  • J and Q
  • B and Y
  • ? and V

To find the relationship between each pair, examine their positions in the alphabet:

  • D is the 4th letter and W is the 23rd letter. They differ by 19 positions.
  • I is the 9th letter and R is the 18th letter. They differ by 9 positions.
  • J is the 10th letter and Q is the 17th letter. They differ by 7 positions.
  • B is the 2nd letter and Y is the 25th letter. They differ by 23 positions.

Now, check the difference in each pair:

  • For D (4) and W (23), the difference is \(19\).
  • For I (9) and R (18), the difference is \(9\).
  • For J (10) and Q (17), the difference is \(7\).
  • For B (2) and Y (25), the difference is \(23\).
  • For ? and V (22), we need the difference to be \(4\) to follow a logical pattern, making the unknown letter E.

Conclusion: The letter that can replace the question mark is E, as this completes the pattern logically following consistent numerical differences. Therefore, the correct answer is E.
