Select the option that is related to the third term on the same basis as the second term is related to the first term.
BRV : FVZ :: SCP : ?

Appeared in: DSSSB - 29 August 2019 (Shift-2)

Explanation

The core logic is a letter analogy based on a fixed alphabetical shift.
The pattern between the first pair (BRV : FVZ) is that each letter is shifted forward by 4 positions in the alphabet.
Applying this +4 shift to the third term (SCP) gives: S+4=W, C+4=G, P+4=T.
Therefore, the resulting term is WGT, which matches the pattern.

Option A: The alphabetical shifts for VDR from SCP are inconsistent (+3, +1, +2) and do not match the +4 shift pattern established by the first pair.
Option B: The alphabetical shifts for VES from SCP are inconsistent (+3, +2, +3) and do not follow the uniform +4 shift pattern.
Option D: The alphabetical shifts for WHR from SCP are inconsistent (+4, +5, +2). Although the first letter follows the +4 rule, the subsequent letters do not, making the entire option incorrect.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Letter Analogy as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This question tests logical reasoning and pattern recognition, which are foundational skills for nurses.
Nurses use pattern recognition daily to identify changes in a patient's condition, interpret vital sign trends, and recognize adverse drug reactions.
Strong analytical skills help in making quick, accurate clinical decisions under pressure.

How to Approach the Question

First, analyze the relationship between the first pair of terms (BRV and FVZ).
Determine the shift for each corresponding letter: B to F, R to V, and V to Z.
Identify a consistent pattern. In this case, each letter is shifted forward by 4 positions.
Apply this identified pattern (+4 shift) to the third term (SCP).
Calculate the new letters: S+4, C+4, and P+4.
Compare your result with the given options to find the correct match.
