Apply the same pattern used in the following group and find the correct option.
COUNTRY : FRXQWUB :: SCHOOL : ?
Correct Answer :
VFKRRO
Solution :
The correct option is VFKRRO.
To find the missing word in the analogy, let's analyze the pattern between the first pair of words: COUNTRY and FRXQWUB.
Let's examine how each letter in "COUNTRY" is transformed into the corresponding letter in "FRXQWUB":
• C (+3) ⇒ F
• O (+3) ⇒ R
• U (+3) ⇒ X
• N (+3) ⇒ Q
• T (+3) ⇒ W
• R (+3) ⇒ U
• Y (+3) ⇒ B (Wrapping around the alphabet: Y → Z → A → B)
The rule applied here is shifting each letter forward by 3 positions in the alphabetical order.
Now, let's apply the exact same (+3) shift pattern to the word SCHOOL:
• S (+3) ⇒ V
• C (+3) ⇒ F
• H (+3) ⇒ K
• O (+3) ⇒ R
• O (+3) ⇒ R
• L (+3) ⇒ O
Combining these resulting letters gives us VFKRRO.
