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.
PLANT : VPCNR :: STOMP : ROQVU :: BOARD : ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. FTCQD.
The logic used here is :
1. 'PLANT' is coded as 'VPCNR'
'PLANT' ⇔ 'RNCPV'
P + 2 = R
L + 2 = N
A + 2 = C
N + 2 = P
T + 2 = V
2. 'STOMP' is coded as 'ROQVU'
'STOMP' ⇔ 'UVQOR'
S + 2 = U
T + 2 = V
O + 2 = Q
M + 2 = O
P + 2 = R
Similarly,
Code for the word 'BOARD':
'BOARD'⇔ 'DQCTF'
B + 2 = D
O + 2 = Q
A + 2 = C
R + 2 = T
D + 2 = F
Hence, 'FTCQD' is the correct answer.
