Question Analysis:
The given question is based on a pattern or sequence. We need to identify the pattern in the given series and find the alternative that follows the same pattern.
Pattern Analysis:
Let's analyze the given pattern:
ACEG : IKMO :: QSUW : ?
We can observe that each letter in the given series is followed by the next letter in the alphabetical order. Let's denote this pattern as "Alphabetical Order Pattern".
Solution:
Using the "Alphabetical Order Pattern", we can find the alternative that follows the same pattern.
The first letter in the given series is A, and its corresponding letter in the alternative series should be I (A + 8 = I).
Similarly, the second letter in the given series is C, and its corresponding letter in the alternative series should be K (C + 8 = K).
Following the same pattern, we can find the corresponding letters for E and G in the given series, which are M and O respectively.
Therefore, the alternative series should be IKMO.
Now, let's apply the same pattern to the second part of the given question, QSUW.
The first letter in the second part is Q, and its corresponding letter in the alternative series should be Y (Q + 8 = Y).
Similarly, the second letter in the second part is S, and its corresponding letter in the alternative series should be A (S + 8 = A).
Following the same pattern, we can find the corresponding letters for U and W in the second part, which are C and E respectively.
Therefore, the alternative series should be YACE.
Hence, the correct answer is option C) YACE.
