Option A

QDS

QDS

Solution :

The correct option is QDS.

To solve this letter-cluster analogy, we need to determine the relationship between the letters in each pair of clusters. Let's analyze the alphabetical positions of the letters (where A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26) and look for a pattern.

The relationship between the first and second letter-clusters is based on opposite letters in the alphabet. Two letters are opposites if the sum of their numerical positions is 27:

Opposite Position = 27 - Original Position

1. Analyzing the first pair: MEK : NVP
For M (13th letter):
27 - 13 = 14, which corresponds to N.
For E (5th letter):
27 - 5 = 22, which corresponds to V.
For K (11th letter):
27 - 11 = 16, which corresponds to P.
Thus, MEK becomes NVP.

2. Analyzing the second pair: GYT : TBG
For G (7th letter):
27 - 7 = 20, which corresponds to T.
For Y (25th letter):
27 - 25 = 2, which corresponds to B.
For T (20th letter):
27 - 20 = 7, which corresponds to G.
Thus, GYT becomes TBG.

3. Applying the same logic to the fifth letter-cluster: JWH : ?
For J (10th letter):
27 - 10 = 17, which corresponds to Q.
For W (23rd letter):
27 - 23 = 4, which corresponds to D.
For H (8th letter):
27 - 8 = 19, which corresponds to S.
Thus, the corresponding cluster is QDS.
