Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Opposite-letter (mirror) analogy: each letter is paired with the letter that sits the same distance from the other end of the alphabet — position n pairs with position (27 − n), so A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, and so on.
The relevant opposite-letter pairs:
Letter | Opposite |
|---|---|
E | V |
K | P |
G | T |
M | N |
In the given pair EK : VP, E pairs with V and K pairs with P, confirming the opposite-letter rule.
Applying the same rule to GM: G pairs with T, and M pairs with N.
Combining these two letters in the same order gives GM : TN.
Cross-check using the position rule (27 − position): E is the 5th letter, so its pair is the (27−5)=22nd letter = V; K is the 11th letter, pair is the 16th letter = P; G is the 7th letter, pair is the 20th letter = T; M is the 13th letter, pair is the 14th letter = N. All four match.
So EK : VP :: GM : TN.
