Question Analysis:
The given question consists of a pair of words, where the first word is related to the second word in a certain pattern. We need to identify the alternative that follows the same pattern and will replace the question mark.
Pattern Analysis:
To determine the pattern between the words "Computer" and "fqprxvht", we can analyze the relationship between each corresponding letter of the two words. Let's break down the letters of the two words and analyze their positions:
Computer: C-o-m-p-u-t-e-r
fqprxvht: f-q-p-r-x-v-h-t
Pattern Explanation:
By comparing the positions of the corresponding letters, we can observe that each letter of the word "Computer" is replaced by the letter that is three positions ahead in the English alphabet. For example, C is replaced by f, o is replaced by q, m is replaced by p, and so on. Applying this pattern, we can find the alternative that will replace the question mark.
Possible Alternatives:
Now, let's analyze the given alternatives and apply the same pattern to find the alternative that follows the pattern:
a) oxpixdig
b) ocqicyig
c) ocqixcjg
d) ocqixcig
Applying the Pattern:
Let's apply the pattern to each alternative and see which one matches the pattern:
a) oxpixdig: o-x-p -> r, p-i-g -> s, d-i-g -> g
b) ocqicyig: o-c-q -> t, i-c-y -> l, i-g -> l
c) ocqixcjg: o-c-q -> t, i-x-c -> f, j-g -> m
d) ocqixcig: o-c-q -> t, i-x-c -> f, i-g -> l
Correct Answer:
After applying the pattern to each alternative, we can see that option c) "ocqixcjg" matches the pattern and replaces the question mark correctly. Therefore, the correct answer is option c) "ocqixcjg".
