Previous Year Questions

Given relationships:

1) OUR : NPTVQS

2) BIG : ACHJFH

3) FOR : ?

Step 1: Analyse the pattern between the first and second clusters

OUR → NPTVQS

· Each letter in "OUR" is converted to a sequence of letters:

1) O→N,P

2) U→T,V

3) R→Q,S

The rule is:

· For each letter in "OUR," the preceding and succeeding letters in the alphabetical order are taken to form pairs.

Step 2: Analyse the pattern between the third and fourth clusters

BIG → ACHJFH

· Each letter in "BIG" is converted to a sequence of letters:

1) B→A,C

2) I→H,J

3) G→F,H

The same rule applies:

· For each letter, the preceding and succeeding letters in the alphabetical order are taken to form pairs.

Step 3: Apply the same pattern to "FOR"

FOR → ?

· F→E,G

· O→N,P

· R→Q,S

Resulting sequence: EGNPQS
