Q1. In the following question, the second word is related to the first word by a specific pattern of letter transformation. Identify the same pattern and apply it to the third word to find the correct option that completes the analogy. COLD: FRPE :: WARM:?

निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में, दूसरा शब्द एक विशिष्ट पैटर्न द्वारा पहले शब्द से संबंधित है। उसी पैटर्न को पहचानें और तीसरे शब्द पर लागू करें: COLD: FRPE :: WARM:?

  1. A. ZDUN
  2. B. ZDVP
  3. C. ZDVN
  4. D. YDUP

Solution

Pattern: C(+3)=F, O(+3)=R, L(+4)=P, D(+1)=E. Applying to WARM: W(+3)=Z, A(+3)=D, R(+4)=V, M(+1)=N.

Q2. Find the option that best completes the analogy. BF: KL :: DK:?

उस विकल्प का चयन करें जो सादृश्यता को सर्वोत्तम रूप से पूरा करता है। BF: KL :: DK:?

  1. A. NO
  2. B. NP
  3. C. MQ
  4. D. MP

Solution

Pattern: B(+9)=K, F(+6)=L. Applying to DK: D(4+9=13)=M, K(11+6=17)=Q. Result is MQ.

Q3. In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives: HAPPY: PYHAP :: CLEAN:?

निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में, दिए गए विकल्पों में से संबंधित शब्द का चयन करें: HAPPY: PYHAP :: CLEAN:?

  1. A. ANCLE
  2. B. ANELC
  3. C. NAELC
  4. D. ENACL

Solution

Pattern: The last two letters are moved to the front. HAPPY (H-A-P-PY) becomes PY-H-A-P. Similarly, CLEAN (C-L-E-AN) becomes AN-C-L-E.

Q4. Apply the same pattern used in the following group and find the correct option. NUMBER: ERBMUN :: SCHOOL: ?

निम्नलिखित समूह में प्रयुक्त समान पैटर्न लागू करें और सही विकल्प खोजें। NUMBER: ERBMUN :: SCHOOL: ?

  1. A. LHCOSO
  2. B. OLOHCS
  3. C. OLHOSC
  4. D. LOOCHS

Solution

The word is reversed in a specific pattern: 5th, 6th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st letters. N(1)U(2)M(3)B(4)E(5)R(6) becomes E(5)R(6)B(4)M(3)U(2)N(1). SCHOOL becomes O(5)L(6)O(4)H(3)C(2)S(1) -> OLOHCS.

Q5. Apply the same pattern used in the following group and find the correct option. KLM: NOP :: STU: ?

निम्नलिखित समूह में प्रयुक्त समान पैटर्न लागू करें और सही विकल्प खोजें। KLM: NOP :: STU: ?

  1. A. XYZ
  2. B. VYZ
  3. C. WXY
  4. D. VWX

Solution

K(+3)=N, L(+3)=O, M(+3)=P. Similarly, S(+3)=V, T(+3)=W, U(+3)=X. Result is VWX.
