QV105 : RS385 :: ? : IT700 :: BT505 : CQ785

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

QV105 : RS385 :: ? : IT700 :: BT505 : CQ785

Just as:

QV105 : RS385

Q → R (+1)

V → S (-3)

385 − 280 = 105

And:

BT505 → CQ785

B → C (+1)

T → Q (-3)

785 − 280 = 505

Similarly:

? : IT700

I (9) − 1 = H

T (20) + 3 = W

? + 280 = 700

? = 700 − 280 = 420
