CNEG is related to FQHJ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, GRXM is related to JUNP. To which of the following is PAGV related, following the same logic?

1. A

   HRSM

2. B

   DSJY

3. C

   LQNB

4. D

   SDJY

Appeared in: DSSSB 6 September 2024

Explanation

• The core logic of the question is a consistent alphabetical shift between letter groups.
• In the provided examples (CNEG → FQHJ and GRXM → JUNP), each letter is shifted forward by exactly 3 positions in the English alphabet.
• Applying this '+3' rule to PAGV results in S (P+3), D (A+3), J (G+3), and Y (V+3).
• Therefore, the correct corresponding letter group is SDJY.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: HRSM does not follow the '+3' pattern. For example, H is P-8, not P+3.
• Option B: DSJY has the letters in the wrong order. The correct transformation of P is S, not D.
• Option C: LQNB does not follow the '+3' pattern. For example, L is P-4, not P+3.

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning: Alphabet Series and Letter Analogy as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• This is a non-clinical question designed to assess logical reasoning and pattern recognition skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities are crucial for nurses in clinical practice for tasks like interpreting patient data, identifying trends in vital signs, and making sound clinical judgments.
• What if the pattern was '+4' instead of '+3'? Applying a '+4' shift to PAGV would result in T (P+4), E (A+4), K (G+4), and Z (V+4), making the answer TEKZ.

How to Approach the Question

• First, identify the relationship between the letters in the first given pair (CNEG and FQHJ). Check the positional difference in the alphabet for each corresponding letter (C to F, N to Q, etc.).
• Verify if the same pattern holds true for the second pair (GRXM and JUNP) to confirm the logic.
• Once the pattern (a '+3' shift for each letter) is confirmed, apply this exact rule to the question word (PAGV).
• Calculate the new letter for each position: P+3, A+3, G+3, V+3.
• Compare your resulting word with the given options to find the correct match.
