BHJL and CJMP are related to each other in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, CIKM and DKNQ are related to each other. Which of the following is related to DJLN, following the same logic?
EOLR
OELR
ELOR
OERL
ELOR
Observe the positional shift for each letter: +1, +2, +3, +4 across the four letters of the sequence.
Observe the positional shift for each letter: +1, +2, +3, +4 across the four letters of the sequence.
Analyze the pattern
Map BHJL to CJMP: B(+1)=C, H(+2)=J, J(+3)=M, L(+4)=P. The pattern is +1, +2, +3, +4.
Verify the pattern
Apply the pattern to CIKM: C(+1)=D, I(+2)=K, K(+3)=N, M(+4)=Q. This yields DKNQ, confirming the +1, +2, +3, +4 rule.
Apply to target word
Apply the rule to DJLN: D(+1)=E, J(+2)=L, L(+3)=O, N(+4)=R. The result is ELOR.
A: EOLR fails because the 3rd and 4th letters are swapped. B: OELR fails because the positions are completely incorrect. D: OERL fails because the pattern +1, +2, +3, +4 is not followed for the characters.
C is correct because applying the +1, +2, +3, +4 alphabetical increment rule to the sequence DJLN results in ELOR.
In letter analogy, always test the +1/+2/+3... pattern first as it is the most common logic in SSC and Banking exams.
