Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

GI

Solution :

The correct option is GI.

To find the missing term in the analogy AC : FH :: BD : ?, let us analyze the relationship and pattern between the letters of the first pair (AC and FH):

1. Consider the alphabetical positions of each letter:

A is the 1st letter of the alphabet.
C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.
F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.
H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.

2. Now, examine the shift between corresponding letters from the first group (AC) to the second group (FH):

• First letter: A (1) to F (6) is a shift of +5 positions.
• Second letter: C (3) to H (8) is a shift of +5 positions.

3. Apply the exact same pattern (+5 shift to each letter) to the second pair starting with BD:

B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet. Adding 5 to its position gives:
2+5=7
The 7th letter of the alphabet is G.

D is the 4th letter of the alphabet. Adding 5 to its position gives:
4+5=9
The 9th letter of the alphabet is I.

Combining these result letters gives GI.
