Q. Select the appropriate set for correctly filling up the ‘ ?’ :
BAD : ? :: PINK : QJOL
(ADRE 2024)
(A) HAD
(B) CBE
(C) CAD
(D) ABE
Answer:- (B) CBE
Solution:-
To solve this, let’s analyze the pattern in the given example: PINK : QJOL
- PINK becomes QJOL by shifting each letter one position forward in the alphabet.
- P to Q (shift +1)
- I to J (shift +1)
- N to O (shift +1)
- K to L (shift +1)
Applying the same pattern to BAD:
- B becomes C
- A becomes B
- D becomes E
So, BAD becomes CBE.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) CBE.
