Understanding the Pattern
To solve the analogy FGH : ? :: QRS : SUW, we need to identify the pattern in the letter sequences.
Analyzing the First Pair: FGH and QRS
- FGH consists of three consecutive letters: F (6), G (7), H (8).
- QRS consists of three consecutive letters: Q (17), R (18), S (19).
- Each letter in the first sequence is followed by the next letter in the alphabet.
Calculating the Difference
- The difference between the first letters: Q (17) - F (6) = 11
- The difference between the second letters: R (18) - G (7) = 11
- The difference between the third letters: S (19) - H (8) = 11
Thus, the relationship is that each letter in the second group is 11 positions ahead of the corresponding letter in the first group.
Finding the Missing Pair
Now, we need to apply the same logic to find what follows FGH:
- F (6) + 11 = Q (17)
- G (7) + 11 = R (18)
- H (8) + 11 = S (19)
Now we need to find the letters that are positioned 11 places ahead of QRS to get our answer.
Calculating the Next Set of Letters
- Q (17) + 11 = B (2) [Wraps around to start of alphabet]
- R (18) + 11 = C (3)
- S (19) + 11 = D (4)
The letters in the sequence that follows should be:
- Q (17) + 11 = H (8)
- R (18) + 11 = J (10)
- S (19) + 11 = L (12)
This gives us HJL.
Conclusion
Thus, the answer is HJL, which is option 'C'. This completes the analogy.
