CDAF : XWZU :: DEFC : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e., WVUX

Concept

Understanding

Application

The alphabets from A to Z takes numerical position value from 1 to 26.

 

Reverse pair: two alphabets form reverse pair if the sum of their numerical position values is 27.

Given that

CDAF : XWZU

 

Here numerical position value:

C = 3, D = 4, A = 1, F = 6

X = 24, W = 23, Z = 26, U = 21

 

Here, CX, DW, AZ and FU are reverse pairs.

We need to find the reverse pair for DEFC:

Here numerical position value:

D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, C = 3

Hence, DW, EV, FU and CX will form reverse pairs.

Hence, WVUX is the correct choice.
