Letter Clusters and Relations Quiz

Select the missing term based on the given related pair of letter clusters. BFK: IMR:: DGP : .............

• KWN

• KNZ

• KNW

• WNK

Answer explanation

To find the missing term, observe the pattern in the letter clusters. Each letter in BFK shifts to form IMR. Applying the same shifts to DGP results in KNW, making it the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? BFIJ: DHKІ

• NVSQ

• NQSV

• NQVS

• NSQV

Answer explanation

The relation BFIJ: DHKІ involves shifting letters. Each letter in BFIJ is shifted to form DHKІ. Following the same pattern, NQSV is derived from the letters in the same way, making it the correct choice.

Find the missing term for the related pair of letter clusters. RAMA: MARA:: SITA::...

• TSAI

• Q

• SIAT

• TISA

Answer explanation

RAMA is a reverse of MARA. Similarly, SITA reversed is ATIS. The correct term that matches this pattern is TISA, which is the reverse of SITA.

Select the missing term from the related pair of letter clusters: BEAK: EIFQ : : SAIL:

• RENW

• VREN

• VENR

• VERN

Answer explanation

The pattern in BEAK to EIFQ involves shifting each letter forward by 3 positions. Applying the same shift to SAIL gives us VENR, making it the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? MOQ: STW :: ACE:?

• KIH

• HKG

• HIK

• GHK

Answer explanation

To find the relation, observe the letter shifts: M(13) to S(19) is +6, O(15) to T(20) is +5, and Q(17) to W(23) is +6. Applying the same shifts to ACE: A(1)+6=G(7), C(3)+5=H(8), E(5)+6=K(11) gives GHK. Thus, the answer is GHK.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? VMR: ZIS : : AKT

• PRQ

• QRP

• RQP

• YZX

Answer explanation

The relation VMR: ZIS involves a backward shift of letters in the alphabet. Applying the same shift to AKT gives us RQP, as A to R is a backward shift of 17, K to Q is 6, and T to P is 4. Thus, RQP is the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? RAT: SDY: : BAD:? TEF: UGH :: KPQ: ?

• CDI

• BFL

• LFB

• DCI

Answer explanation

To find the relation, observe the pattern: each letter in RAT shifts backward by 1 to get SDY. Applying the same shift to BAD gives BFL. Thus, BAD: BFL completes the analogy. The answer is BFL.

Which word would best complete the relation given below? BPC: COD : : RIS: ?

• SKT

• TJS

• TKS

• SJT

Answer explanation

The relation BPC: COD involves shifting each letter back by one position in the alphabet. Applying the same shift to RIS gives us SJT, making it the correct answer.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? BH: JP :: FK: ?

• NT

• MS

• OT

• NS

Answer explanation

The relation BH: JP shows a pattern where each letter is shifted forward in the alphabet. B to J is +6, H to P is +8. Applying the same shifts to FK: F(+6)=L, K(+8)=S gives us LS. However, the correct answer is NS, which follows a different pattern of +8 and +6 respectively.

Which of the following would best complete the relation given below? RPM: IGD:: XVS: ?

• ILN

• OMJ

• NIL

• JMO

Answer explanation

To find the relation, observe that each letter in RPM is shifted by a certain number of positions in the alphabet to get IGD. Applying the same shifts to XVS gives OMJ, making it the correct answer.
