PQ190 : NM270 :: MN120 : ? :: ZV170 : XR250

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

PQ190 : NM270 :: MN120 : ? :: ZV170 : XR250

Just as:

PQ190 : NM270

P → N (−2)

Q → M (−4)

190 + 80 = 270

And:

ZV170 : XR250

Z → X (−2)

V → R (−4)

170 + 80 = 250

Similarly:

MN120 : ?

M → K (−2)

N → J (−4)

120 + 80 = 200

Correct Answer: KJ200
