Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of:: is the same as that on the right side of::?
The pattern follows a consistent shift in the alphabetical positions of each corresponding letter in the triplets. Specifically, each letter in the first cluster (DHJ) corresponds to the second cluster (BFH) by a shift of -2, while the relationship across the :: requires the first cluster to follow the same shift logic as the second, resulting in JNP and VZB.

This question tests 'Letter Analogy', a foundational component of Logical Reasoning often found in SSC, UPSC CSAT, and Banking exams under the 'General Mental Ability' section.
Logical reasoning analogies are based on fixed alphabetical numeric positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
Identifying the constant difference (shift) is the primary method to solve letter-cluster analogies.
Practice of reverse-alphabetical and cyclical patterns is essential for competitive exam success.
JNP sequence: J(10), N(14), P(16). Applying the reverse shift (+2) yields VZB: V(22), Z(26), B(2).
The official answer matches Option D, which satisfies the mathematical consistency of the given series.
Option C is incorrect because the third letter 'O' does not maintain the required +2/+12 cyclic parity found in the correct pattern.
D is correct тАФ the sequence # = JNP and % = VZB maintains a consistent alphabetical shift pattern required by the analogy.
Always convert letters to their numerical ranks (A=1 to Z=26) immediately upon seeing a letter series or analogy question to quickly identify additive or subtractive shifts.
