Select the option which fills both the blanks in a correct manner such that the given pair are related to each other:
J: M :: T: ?
R: ? :: B: G
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
J : M :: T : ?
R : ? :: B : G
The relationship in the first pair (J : M):
In the alphabet:
J is the 10th letter, and M is the 13th letter.
Difference: 13 − 10 = +3
Therefore, the relationship involves moving +3 positions forward.
Apply this same relationship to T.
T is the 20th letter.
20 + 3 = 23 → W.
Therefore, T : W.
The relationship in the second pair (B : G):
B is the 2nd letter, and G is the 7th letter.
Difference: 7 − 2 = +5
Therefore, the relationship involves moving +5 positions forward.
Apply this same relationship to R.
R is the 18th letter.
18 + 5 = 23 → W.
Therefore, R : W.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (2).
