Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two set of pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern. PMN : RPI VHS : XKN
JPQ : LSM
NFF : PIA
TIH : VMC
PTV : RWR
NFF : PIA
Look for the sequence: 1st letter + 2, 2nd letter + 0 (same), 3rd letter + 0 (same) OR specific positional shifts across all letters.

Analyze the pattern
Examining PMN : RPI: P(+2)=R, M(+3)=P, N(+13)=A (Pattern inconsistent). Let's re-examine: NFF : PIA: N+2=P, F+3=I, F-5=A. This logic (+2, +3, -5) is consistent for specific transformations.
Apply to Option B
Take NFF: 14(N)+2=16(P), 6(F)+3=9(I), 6(F)-5=1(A). This yields PIA.
A: JPQ тЖТ J+2=L, P+3=S, Q-4=M (Close, but Q-4 not -5). C: TIH тЖТ T+2=V, I+4=M, H-5=C (Second letter shift is +4, not +3). D: PTV тЖТ P+2=R, T+3=W, V-4=R (Third letter shift is -4, not -5).
B is correct because it follows the specific transformation pattern of +2, +3, and -5 applied to the alphabetical indices of the letters.
In analogy questions, if the first letters match a simple increment (+2), focus on the remaining letters' differences rather than assuming complex patterns.
