AD 24 is related to BE 12. In the same way, KN 68 is related to LO 34. To which of the following is HK 42 related, following the same logic?
IL 21
IM 21
IL 22
IM 22
IL 21
Identify the letter pattern by adding 1 to both existing letters, and halve the number: (Letter1+1)(Letter2+1) (Number/2).
Identify the letter pattern by adding 1 to both existing letters, and halve the number: (Letter1+1)(Letter2+1) (Number/2).
Analyze the letter shift pattern
Comparing AD to BE: A + 1 = B and D + 1 = E. Comparing KN to LO: K + 1 = L and N + 1 = O. Applying this to HK: H + 1 = I and K + 1 = L.
Analyze the number logic
In AD 24 тЖТ BE 12: 24 divided by 2 is 12. In KN 68 тЖТ LO 34: 68 divided by 2 is 34. Applying this to HK 42: 42 divided by 2 is 21.
Combine results
Combining the letter shift (IL) and the calculated number (21), we get IL 21.
B: IM 21 is wrong because the second letter K shifts to L, not M. C: IL 22 is wrong because the number 42 divided by 2 is 21, not 22. D: IM 22 is wrong because both the letter shift and number division are incorrect.
A is correct because the logic follows a +1 shift for both letters and a division by 2 for the numerical value.
When dealing with alphanumeric analogies, separate the letters and numbers entirely; solve the letter transformation (usually +n, -n, or opposite) first, then the number mathematical operation.
