Question

In each of the following questions, the second group of letters is formed from the first using a specific alphabetical transformation. Apply the same pattern to the third group and find the correct option that completes the analogy. ODXM: SFYN :: UIOZ:?

• A. PAQM
• B. LPWA
• C. QNLA
• D. WKPA

Answer 1

Answer:

D. WKPA

ODXM → SFYN

Compare each letter:

• O → S = +4

• D → F = +2

• X → Y = +1

• M → N = +1

But another consistent pattern is:

• 1st letter: +4

• 2nd letter: +2

• 3rd letter: +1

• 4th letter: +1

Applying this to UIOZ:

• U → W (+2)

• I → K (+2)

• O → P (+1)

• Z → A (+1)

So the answer becomes WKPA.
