Select the letter-cluster pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pairs of letter-clusters given below. NGJ : OJE MHK : NKF
XHJ : YKF
LMO : MOJ
JJK : KME
KNI : LQD
KNI : LQD
In this letter-cluster analogy, each letter in the first cluster is shifted forward in the alphabetical series by specific sequential intervals (+2, +1, +0 or similar positional shifts). Applying the identical positional transformation rule to the given target pair reveals the exact correspondence found in Option D.

Letter-coding and alphabetical series problems test logical reasoning and pattern recognition, which are standard components of the Reasoning section in Indian competitive examinations like SSC CGL, CHSL, and RRB NTPC.
Alphabetical analogy questions require identifying the exact arithmetic difference between corresponding letter positions (A=1 to Z=26).
Both forward and backward cyclic shifts are common in SSC and banking reasoning papers.
Option D correctly mirrors the transformation pattern established in the problem statement.
Option A (XHJ : YKF) does not follow the identical sequential difference rule.
Option B (LMO : MOJ) represents a different permutation of letters rather than the required sequence shift.
Option C (JJK : KME) fails the positional difference check found in the reference pairs.
D is correct тАФ KNI : LQD accurately follows the identical letter-cluster relationship and positional shift pattern established in the given pairs.
Mastering alphabetical positional values (A=1, Z=26, and reverse numbering) drastically cuts down solving time for both Coding-Decoding and Letter Analogy questions.
