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 shift in the position of each letter in the alphabet. For the pair HAW: %, the letters follow the transformation: H (+3) = K, A (+3) = D, W (+3) = Z, resulting in KDZ. Applying the reverse logic of -3 to IBX leads to FYU (# = FYU, % = KDZ).
The pattern follows a shift in the position of each letter in the alphabet. For the pair HAW: %, the letters follow the transformation: H (+3) = K, A (+3) = D, W (+3) = Z, resulting in KDZ. Applying the reverse logic of -3 to IBX leads to FYU (# = FYU, % = KDZ).
Logical reasoning patterns in competitive exams like SSC, CGL, and CHSL are designed to test spatial and arithmetic manipulation of the English alphabet (A=1, B=2... Z=26).
Alphabetical position: I=9, B=2, X=24. Applying -3 yields 6(F), 25(Y), 21(U).
Alphabetical position: H=8, A=1, W=23. Applying +3 yields 11(K), 4(D), 26(Z).
The analogy relies on maintaining a constant numerical shift across all characters in the cluster.
The constant shift value (+3 or -3) is a standard technique in coding-decoding reasoning questions.
Option A is incorrect because the second cluster (NDZ) does not follow the +3 shift from HAW.
Option C and D contain wrong final letters (O and U) which do not align with the alphabetical progression required for the second set.
In competitive exams, always write down the numerical values of letters (A=1, Z=26) to visualize shifts quickly.
B is correct тАФ The pattern follows a consistent alphabetical shift of -3 for the left term (#) and +3 for the right term (%).
This topic of 'Letter Analogy' is closely linked to 'Number Series' and 'Coding-Decoding'. Practice these together to improve your speed in identifying consistent arithmetic offsets.
