SSC MTS - 18 Feb 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q25

In the following question, set of letter clusters are given. The letter clusters of each set are related to the letter clusters of the same set by some Logic/Rule/Relation. From the given alternatives, select a group of letter clusters which follows the same Logic/Rule/Relation.

(NK, LI, OR)

(CP, AN, ZM)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Observe the relation:

  • NK → LI : First letter −2, Second letter −2
  • LI → OR : First letter +3, Second letter +9

Check Option 3:

  • LN → JL : First letter −2, Second letter −2
  • JL → QO : First letter +7, Second letter +3

The letter shifts follow the same pattern of applying the same operation to both letters within each step (first both decrease by 2, then both increase).

Answer: Option 3 (LN, JL, QO) ✅
