Question

in each of the following questions, the second word is formed by rearranging the letters of the first word according to a specific pattern. Identify the same rearrangement rule and apply it to the third word to choose the correct answer from the given alternatives. NATION: ANTINO :: HUNGRY: ?

• A. HNUGRY
• B. UNHGYR
• C. YRNGUH
• D. UHNGYR

Answer 1

Answer:

D. UHNGYR

From NATION → ANTINO, observe the letter rearrangement:

• N A T I O N

• Swap the 1st and 2nd letters, and swap the 5th and 6th letters:

  • 2nd → A

  • 1st → N

  • 3rd → T

  • 4th → I

  • 6th → N

  • 5th → O

So the pattern is:

(2, 1, 3, 4, 6, 5)

Now apply the same to HUNGRY:

• H U N G R Y

• Rearranged:

  • 2nd → U

  • 1st → H

  • 3rd → N

  • 4th → G

  • 6th → Y

  • 5th → R

Answer: UHNGYR
