HS777 : EO377 :: ? : KC267 :: LP987 : IL587

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

HS777 : EO377 :: KC267 :: ? :: LP987 : IL587

Just as:

HS777 → EO377

H → E (−3)

S → O (−4)

777 → 377

777 − 400 = 377

And:

LP987 → IL587

L → I (−3)

P → L (−4)

987 ​​− 400 = 587

Similarly:

? : KC267

K → N (+3)

C → G (+4)

267 + 400 = 667

Correct Answer = NG667
