Question

Answer

The logic followed here is :-

DEPTH : XKNXX

And

FINAL : TDQTV

Similarly,

MAYOR : ?

Hence, the correct answer is 'NPEBO'.

Answer

Explanation:
To solve this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between the letter clusters in each set.

First Letter Cluster:
DEPTH : XKNXX

Second Letter Cluster:
FINAL : TDPTV

Third Letter Cluster:
MAYOR : ?

Relationship between First and Second Letter Clusters:
Let's analyze the relationship between the first and second letter clusters. In the first letter cluster, each letter is shifted three positions forward in the English alphabet. For example, D becomes G, E becomes H, P becomes S, etc.

So, the relationship is that each letter in the first letter cluster is shifted three positions forward to obtain the corresponding letter in the second letter cluster.

Applying the Relationship to the Third Letter Cluster:
Now, let's apply the same relationship to the third letter cluster (MAYOR) to find the missing cluster.

Starting with the first letter 'M', if we shift it three positions forward, we get 'P'. Similarly, if we shift 'A' three positions forward, we get 'D'. Applying this logic to the remaining letters, we get 'PEBO' as the missing letter cluster.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (NPEBO).
