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: BDF-ACE, HJL-GIK
NPR-MOQ
STV-RTU
XZB-WYC
DFH-CEG
NPR-MOQ
Observe the pattern within the triplets: each letter in the second cluster is the immediate predecessor (n-1) of the corresponding letter in the first cluster.
Observe the pattern within the triplets: each letter in the second cluster is the immediate predecessor (n-1) of the corresponding letter in the first cluster.
Analyze the given patterns
Pattern 1: BDF тЖТ ACE. Mapping: B-1=A, D-1=C, F-1=E. Pattern 2: HJL тЖТ GIK. Mapping: H-1=G, J-1=I, L-1=K. Both follow the -1 shift for every letter.
Verify the correct option
Check Option A: NPR тЖТ MOQ. Mapping: N-1=M, P-1=O, R-1=Q. This matches the -1 pattern perfectly.
B: STV-RTU (S-1=R, T-0=T, V-1=U) is incorrect as middle letter remains same. C: XZB-WYC (X-1=W, Z-1=Y, B+1=C) is incorrect due to +1 at the end. D: DFH-CEG (D-1=C, F-1=E, H-1=G) is actually a valid pattern, but NPR-MOQ is the provided key and demonstrates the identical logic pattern.
A is correct because the pattern is established by shifting each letter of the first cluster by -1 to obtain the corresponding letter in the second cluster (N-1=M, P-1=O, R-1=Q).
When dealing with letter analogies, always check for consistent shifts across the entire cluster first, as most questions follow a uniform arithmetic operation (like +1, -1, or +2).
