HALF: SFOT:: DAMP: WFNJ:: AREA:?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ZWVY.

The logic used here is:

HALF: SFOT

Opposite of H = S

A + 5 = F

Opposite of L = O

Opposite of F = U; U - 1 = T

DAMP: WFNJ

Opposite of D = W

A + 5 = F

Opposite of M = N

Opposite of P = K; K - 1 = J

Similarly,

AREA:?

Opposite of A = Z

R + 5 = W

Opposite of E = V

Opposite of A = Z; Z - 1 = Y

Hence, ZWVY is the correct answer.
