Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of ::?

# : LHM :: OKP : %

Correct Answer

# = GCH, % = TPU

Internal Cluster Pattern: To resolve this complex analogy, we must analyze the internal alphabetical shift logic occurring within the provided reference cluster......

💡 Analysis & Explanation

Internal Cluster Pattern ▼

To resolve this complex analogy, we must analyze the internal alphabetical shift logic occurring within the provided reference clusters 'LHM' and 'OKP'.

Reference Shift Logic ▼

In the cluster LHM, L(12) to H(8) represents a backward shift of -4, while H(8) to M(13) is a forward shift of +5. Similarly, in OKP, O(15) to K(11) is -4, and K(11) to P(16) is +5. Thus, the governing structural rule is (-4, +5).

Testing Options ▼

We must find the option where both replacement clusters strictly obey this internal (-4, +5) algorithmic pattern.

Validating the Match ▼

Checking option four: For GCH, G(7)-4 = C(3) and C(3)+5 = H(8). For TPU, T(20)-4 = P(16) and P(16)+5 = U(21). Both perfectly align.

Conclusion ▼

The syntactically correct replacements are indeed GCH and TPU.
