QL 2 is related to SG 16 in a certain way. In the same way, EI 6 is related to GD 20. To which of the following is PN 8 related, following the same logic?
Correct Answer :
RI 22
Solution :
The correct option is RI 22.
Let us analyze the relationship between the terms in each pair to find the underlying logic. Each term consists of two letters followed by a number.
Let's map each letter to its position in the standard English alphabet:
A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, I = 9, J = 10, K = 11, L = 12, M = 13, N = 14, O = 15, P = 16, Q = 17, R = 18, S = 19, T = 20, U = 21, V = 22, W = 23, X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26.
First Pair: QL 2 and SG 16
Let's look at the first letter of each term: Q and S.
Alphabet position of Q = 17
Alphabet position of S = 19
Difference: 19 - 17 = +2
Let's look at the second letter of each term: L and G.
Alphabet position of L = 12
Alphabet position of G = 7
Difference: 7 - 12 = -5
Let's look at the numbers: 2 and 16.
Notice that if we multiply the alphabet positions of the letters of the first term (Q = 17, L = 12) and check their sum or product, we can look for a relation. Alternatively, let's look at the relation between the numbers directly:
First number = 2
Second number = 16
Notice that: , or perhaps the numbers are related to the letters.
Second Pair: EI 6 and GD 20
Let's verify the letter transitions:
First letter: E to G
Alphabet position of E = 5
Alphabet position of G = 7
Difference: 7 - 5 = +2 (Matches the +2 logic)
Second letter: I to D
Alphabet position of I = 9
Alphabet position of D = 4
Difference: 4 - 9 = -5 (Matches the -5 logic)
Let's look at the numbers: 6 and 20.
Let's find a pattern connecting the numbers: 2 to 16, and 6 to 20.
In both cases, the difference between the second number and the first number is:
For the first pair: 16 - 2 = 14
For the second pair: 20 - 6 = 14
Thus, the second number is obtained by adding 14 to the first number.
Applying the logic to PN 8:
First letter of the related term:
Alphabet position of P = 16
Applying the +2 shift: 16 + 2 = 18
The letter at position 18 is R.
Second letter of the related term:
Alphabet position of N = 14
Applying the -5 shift: 14 - 5 = 9
The letter at position 9 is I.
Number of the related term:
First number = 8
Applying the +14 shift: 8 + 14 = 22
The resulting number is 22.
Combining these parts, the term related to PN 8 is RI 22.
