CJM: GGQ :: NRU: ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given Letter Analogy: CJM : GGQ :: NRU : ?
Identify the pattern from CJM to GGQ
convert each letter to its alphabetical position:
C = 3, J = 10, M = 13
G = 7, G = 7, Q = 17
Now find the difference for each position:
C (3) → G (7): +4
J (10) → G (7): -3
M (13) → Q (17): +4
So, the pattern is: +4, -3, +4.
Apply the pattern to NRU
Convert NRU to positions:
N = 14, R = 18, U = 21
Apply the same changes:
N (14) + 4 = R (18)
R (18) - 3 = O (15)
U (21) + 4 = Y (25)
Combine all letters: ROY.
Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
