Attempted by 3 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
1. Analyze the first pair (FHKO : UQNL): The first letters 'F' and 'U' are opposite pairs. The internal gaps for FHKO (+2, +3, +4) are reversed and subtracted in UQNL (-4, -3, -2).
2. Analyze the target (BCEH): The opposite of the first letter 'B' is 'Y'. The internal gaps for BCEH are +1, +2, +3.
3. Reversing and negating the gaps gives -3, -2, -1. Applying this starting from 'Y' (25): 25-3=22(V), 22-2=20(T), 20-1=19(S).
Final Answer: Option C
