RF18 : QD36 :: ? : MH48 :: KF72 : JD144

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

RF18 : QD36 :: ? : MH48 :: KF72 : JD144

Just as:

RF18 : QD36

RF → QD

R → Q = -1

F → D = -2

18 → 36 = ×2

And:

KF72 : JD144

KF → JD

K → J = -1

F → D = -2

72 → 144 = ×2

Similarly:

? : MH48

Applying the reverse logic for MH48:

? → MH

The letter preceding M = N

The letter preceding H = J

? × 2 = 48

? = 24

Correct Answer = NJ24
