Question

Find the missing term: BEGK : ADFJ :: PSVY : ?

• A. OQT
• B. ROUY
• C. ORUX
• D. LSUF
• E.

Hint:

Check for consistent shifts in letters when comparing two pairs of words. The pattern of shifts will help determine the correct missing term.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Observing the pattern in the first pair \( \text{BEGK} : \text{ADFJ} \), we notice that each letter in the second term is obtained by shifting the corresponding letter in the first term backward by 1 position: \[ B \rightarrow A, \quad E \rightarrow D, \quad G \rightarrow F, \quad K \rightarrow J. \] - Applying the same pattern to \( \text{PSVY} \): \[ P \rightarrow O, \quad S \rightarrow R, \quad V \rightarrow U, \quad Y \rightarrow X. \] Thus, the missing term is \( \mathbf{ORUX} \).
