Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
In an alphabet-position analogy, each letter is replaced by its ordinal position in the English alphabet.
The same letter-to-number rule must be applied independently to every letter in both pairs.
Application
For the given pair, K is the 11th letter and T is the 20th letter, so K/T becomes 11/20.
Apply the same rule to J/R: J is the 10th letter and R is the 18th letter.
Therefore, J/R becomes 10/18.
Cross-check and contrast
Counting from A confirms J = 10 and R = 18.
10/8 represents J/H, because H is the 8th letter.
10/18 represents J/R, using the positions of both given letters.
11/19 represents K/S, because K and S are the 11th and 19th letters.
10/19 represents J/S, because S is the 19th letter.
Hence, the required value is 10/18.
