Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
FUELED : DXBOAG :: GELATO : EHIDPR :: HEARTY : ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. FHXUPB.
The logic used here is:
1st letter - 2, 2nd letter + 3, 3rd letter - 3, 4th letter + 3, 5th letter - 4, 6th letter + 3
FUELED : DXBOAG
F - 2 = D
U + 3 = X
E - 3 = E
L + 3 = O
E - 4 = A
D + 3 = G
GELATO : EHIDPR
G - 2 = E
E + 3 = H
L - 3 = I
A + 3 = D
T - 4 = P
O + 3 = R
Similarly,
HEARTY : ?
H - 2 = F
E + 3 = H
A - 4 = X
R + 3 = U
T - 3 = P
Y + 3 = B
Hence, FHXUPB is the correct answer.
