Select the option that is related to the fourth letter-number cluster in the same way as the first letter-number cluster is related to the second letter-number cluster and fifth letter-number cluster is related to sixth 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)
KJT12 : MMO143 :: ? : LTP168 :: CFP16 : EIK255
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
KJT12 : MMO143 :: ? : LTP168 :: CFP16 : EIK255
Just as:
K → M (+2)
J → M (+3)
T → O (-5)
12² − 1 = 144 − 1 = 143
And:
C → E (+2)
F → I (+3)
P → K (-5)
16² − 1 = 256 − 1 = 255
Similarly:
L − 2 = J
T − 3 = Q
P + 5 = U
13² − 1 = 169 − 1 = 168
Correct Answer = JQU13
