PV : MQ :: FB : ?

SSC MTS 7th July 2022 Shift-1

Let’s analyze the given analogy step by step:

- PV : MQ

- ‘P’ is the 16th letter in the alphabet, ‘M’ is the 13th. 16 - 3 = 13.

- ‘V’ is the 22nd, ‘Q’ is the 17th. 22 - 5 = 17.

- So, the pattern is: subtract 3 from the first letter and 5 from the second letter.

- FB : ?

- ‘F’ is the 6th letter. 6 - 3 = 3 ? ‘C’

- ‘B’ is the 2nd letter. 2 - 5 = -3 (Since we're subtracting beyond A, loop back to Z: 2 - 5 = -3; 26 + (-3) = 23 ? ‘W’)

- Now, look for option ‘CW’.

Let's review the options:

- Option 1: CX (Incorrect, second letter doesn't match)

- Option 2: DW (Incorrect, first letter doesn't match)

- Option 3: DX (Neither letter matches)

- Option 4: CW (First: C, Second: W, matches our calculation)
