The Correct Option is A, B

Solution and Explanation

To solve this problem, we must match the positions of the letters in the words with their respective clock face placements. Each letter corresponds to a particular hour on the clock, where A starts at 6 o’clock and rotates clockwise. The primary aim here is to ensure that for each word given, the specified clock position for each letter matches the actual clock position calculated based on the alphabetical ordering of the letters.

Solution

1. GOA:
G: 12 o’clock, O: 3 o’clock, A: 6 o’clock

2. SKY:
S: 12 o’clock, K: 12 o’clock, Y: 6 o’clock

3. FLY:
F: 9 o’clock, L: 3 o’clock, Y: 6 o’clock

4. BYE:
B: 9 o’clock, Y: 6 o’clock, E: 6 o’clock

Correct Combinations:
GOA = 3’o clock + 3’o clock + 6’o clock,
SKY = 9’o clock + 9’o clock + 6’o clock.
