? : TH20 :: PE12 : OC24 :: DK18 : CI36

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

? : TH20 :: PE12 : OC24 :: DK18 : CI36

Just as:

PE12 → OC24

P → O = −1

E → C = −2

12 → 24 = ×2

And:

DK18 → CI36

D → C = −1

K → I = −2

18 → 36 = ×2

Similarly:

? : TH20

T → ? = +1 → U

H → ? = +2 → J

20 → ? = ÷2 → 10

Final Answer: UJ10 (Option C)
