Question 131

Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
FHJK : UQSP :: ACDL : ?

Solution

Looking at the relationship between the first two terms, we see that F is the sixth alphabet from the beginning, whereas U is the sixth alphabet from the end. 

Similarly, K is the 11th alphabet from the start, and P is the 11 alphabet from the end. 

Looking at the two terms in between, H is the 8th alphabet from the start, and S is the 8th alphabet from the end. 
Finally, J is the 10th alphabet from the start, and Q is the 10th alphabet from the end. 
And the terms in the centre are switched with each other. 

In order to find the same pattern for the third term, we would begin with the first alphabet from the end: Z

The term would end with the 12th alphabet from the end (since L is the twelfth alphabet from the start), which would be O)
The second character in the term would be opposite of the third character in the third term which would be D, therefore, we want the fourth term from the end, which would be W. 
Finally, for the third character, we would want the opposite of the second character of term three, which would be C. Therefore, we would want the third character from the end, which would be X

Therefore, the correct term would be ZWXO

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
