Select the option that is related to the sixth letter-number cluster in the same way as the first letter-number cluster is related to the second letter-number cluster and third letter-number cluster is related to fourth letter-number cluster.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g.13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
TFK89 : HCQ178 :: UXZ63 : WUR126 :: ? : POI148
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
TFK89 : HCQ178 :: UXZ63 : WUR126 :: ? : POI148
Just as:
TFK89 : HCQ178
Upon reversing the order of the letters:
TFK → KFT
K → H (-3)
F → C (-3)
T → Q (-3)
89 → 178 (×2)
And:
UXZ63 : WUR126
Upon reversing the order of the letters: UXZ → ZXU
Z → W (-3)
X → U (-3)
U → R (-3)
63 → 126 (×2)
Similarly:
? : POI148
? : POI
P → S (+3)
O → R (+3)
I → L (+3)
148 ÷ 2 = 74
Upon reversing the order of the letters:
SRL → LRS
Correct Answer = LRS74
