Understanding the Pattern
To solve the analogy AZCX : BYDW :: HQJO : ?, we first need to analyze the relationship between the pairs of letters.
Decoding AZCX to BYDW
- First Letter Transformation:
- A to B: A is the 1st letter, B is the 2nd letter (A + 1 = B)
- Second Letter Transformation:
- Z to Y: Z is the 26th letter, Y is the 25th letter (Z - 1 = Y)
- Third Letter Transformation:
- C to D: C is the 3rd letter, D is the 4th letter (C + 1 = D)
- Fourth Letter Transformation:
- X to W: X is the 24th letter, W is the 23rd letter (X - 1 = W)
So, the pattern is:
- 1st letter: +1
- 2nd letter: -1
- 3rd letter: +1
- 4th letter: -1
Applying the Pattern to HQJO
Now, we apply the same transformations to HQJO:
- First Letter:
- H to I: H is the 8th letter, I is the 9th letter (H + 1 = I)
- Second Letter:
- Q to P: Q is the 17th letter, P is the 16th letter (Q - 1 = P)
- Third Letter:
- J to K: J is the 10th letter, K is the 11th letter (J + 1 = K)
- Fourth Letter:
- O to N: O is the 15th letter, N is the 14th letter (O - 1 = N)
Thus, combining these transformations, we get I P K N.
Conclusion
From our analysis, the answer to the analogy HQJO : ? is therefore IPKN, which corresponds to option 'C'.
