SSC Stenographer 2026 PYQ — Question 98

SSC Stenographer - 12 Sep 2026 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q98

Identify the relationship between the first pair of letter clusters and select the option that shares the same pattern for the second pair.
STAY : RSZX :: BLUE : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The pattern followed here is subtracting 1 from the positional value of each letter:
• S − 1 = R
• T − 1 = S
• A − 1 = Z
• Y − 1 = X
Applying the same logic to BLUE:
• B − 1 = A
• L − 1 = K
• U − 1 = T
• E − 1 = D
Therefore, the required cluster is AKTD.
