Complete the analogy: ACEG : BDFH :: IKMO : ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. JLNP
- I(+1) = J
- K(+1) = L
- M(+1) = N
- O(+1) = P
- K(+1) = L
- M(+1) = N
- O(+1) = P
- Step 1: Observe the shift: A(+1)=B, C(+1)=D, E(+1)=F, G(+1)=H. Each letter advances by .
- Step 2: Apply to IKMO:
- Step 3: The resulting string is JLNP.
Answer
JLNP.
Why not the others: JLMN omits the on O; KLNP shifts I by ; and JKLM uses consecutive alphabetical letters.
