Question

Select the pair that follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern. GHI : LMN PQR : UVW

• A. CDE : HIJ
• B. KLM : OPQ
• C. EFG : HIJ
• D. STU : YZA

Answer 1

Answer:

A. CDE : HIJ

The correct pair that follows the same pattern is CDE : HIJ.

Explanation:

The pattern between the letter-clusters is to add +5 to the alphabetical position of each letter.

• Pattern Analysis:

  • GHI : LMN $\rightarrow$ G (+5) = L, H (+5) = M, I (+5) = N

  • PQR : UVW $\rightarrow$ P (+5) = U, Q (+5) = V, R (+5) = W

• Checking the Options:

  • CDE : HIJ $\rightarrow$ C (+5) = H, D (+5) = I, E (+5) = J
