Question

From the given alternatives find the correct relationship that holds between two terms:
FJUL : BOQQ :: LHRX : ____.

• A. HMNC
• B. HMCC
• C. HCMM
• D. HMCM

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the analogy FJUL : BOQQ :: LHRX : ____, we need to identify the pattern or series of transformations that occur between the first pair of terms and apply these to the second pair. 

1. First, examine the relationship between FJUL and BOQQ by comparing each letter:
   • F to B: F is the 6th letter and B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet. The shift is -4.
   • J to O: J is the 10th letter and O is the 15th letter. The shift is +5.
   • U to Q: U is the 21st letter and Q is the 17th letter. The shift is -4.
   • L to Q: L is the 12th letter and Q is the 17th letter. The shift is +5.
2. The pattern identified is a repetitive series of transformations: -4, +5, -4, +5.
3. Apply the same transformations to the second term LHRX:
   • L: 12th letter. Apply -4 to get 8th letter, which is H.
   • H: 8th letter. Apply +5 to get 13th letter, which is M.
   • R: 18th letter. Apply -4 to get 14th letter, which is N.
   • X: 24th letter. Apply +5 to get 29th letter, but since the alphabet wraps around (A-Z = 1-26), 29 is equivalent to 3rd (29-26), which is C.

Thus, applying the same transformation pattern, the sequence LHRX becomes HMNC.

The option HMNC is the correct answer.
