Select the option that replaces # and %:
HJL
FHK
KMO
JLN
HJL
Find the positional shift between the given pair (GIK to HJL is +1 for each letter) and apply the same uniform shift to find the missing counterpart.
Find the positional shift between the given pair (GIK to HJL is +1 for each letter) and apply the same uniform shift to find the missing counterpart.
Analyze the Given Pair
Examine the alphabetical relationship between GIK and the options. G(7) + 1 = H(8), I(9) + 1 = J(10), and K(11) + 1 = L(12), which forms the term HJL through a consistent +1 forward shift.
Verify the Analogy Match
Applying the same +1 rule to GIK directly yields HJL. Thus, % corresponds to HJL, making option A the correct choice.
B: FHK does not follow the correct +1 positional increment from GIK. C: KMO represents the first term # instead of the target % counterpart. D: JLN has an incorrect letter progression sequence.
A is correct because applying a consistent +1 letter shift to GIK produces HJL, which matches option A.
Always check both forward and reverse alphabetical shifts when solving letter analogy questions to quickly identify the rule.
