Find the option that best completes the analogy.
AC : FH :: BD : ?
Correct Answer :
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:
The 7th letter of the alphabet is G.
• D is the 4th letter of the alphabet. Adding 5 to its position gives:
The 9th letter of the alphabet is I.
Combining these result letters gives GI.
