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 :: ?

# : RND :: QRX : %

Correct Answer

# = PMB, % = SSZ

Hypothesis Testing: Let's test the fourth option where # = PMB and % = SSZ. This establishes the complete analogy as PMB : RND :: QRX : SSZ.Analyzing the First ......

💡 Analysis & Explanation

Hypothesis Testing ▼

Let's test the fourth option where # = PMB and % = SSZ. This establishes the complete analogy as PMB : RND :: QRX : SSZ.

Analyzing the First Pair ▼

Examine the letter shifts from PMB to RND. P(16) to R(18) is a +2 jump. M(13) to N(14) is a +1 jump. B(2) to D(4) is a +2 jump. The logic established is (+2, +1, +2).

Validating the Second Pair ▼

Now, rigorously apply this identical (+2, +1, +2) logic to QRX to see if it generates SSZ. Q(17) + 2 = S(19). R(18) + 1 = S(19). X(24) + 2 = Z(26). This produces SSZ, perfectly validating our hypothesis.

Conclusion ▼

The missing clusters that balance the analogy perfectly are PMB and SSZ.
