Difficulty: EasyAnalogy and Classification

In a certain pattern, the letter-group FILM\text{FILM} is related to GJMN\text{GJMN} following a specific positional shift rule. Which letter-group maintains the exact same relationship with MILK\text{MILK}?

  1. NJML\text{NJML}Answer
  2. B
    NKML\text{NKML}
  3. C
    NJMK\text{NJMK}
  4. D
    LHKJ\text{LHKJ}

Answer

NJML\text{NJML}
The relationship in the pair FILM:GJMN\text{FILM} : \text{GJMN} is established by moving each letter forward by 11 step in the alphabet. Applying this exact pattern to MILK\text{MILK} yields MN\text{M} \to \text{N}, IJ\text{I} \to \text{J}, LM\text{L} \to \text{M}, and KL\text{K} \to \text{L}, giving NJML\text{NJML}.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the rule relating the first pair FILM\text{FILM} and GJMN\text{GJMN}.
FG\text{F} \rightarrow \text{G} (+1+1), IJ\text{I} \rightarrow \text{J} (+1+1), LM\text{L} \rightarrow \text{M} (+1+1), MN\text{M} \rightarrow \text{N} (+1+1).
Each letter is shifted forward by one position in alphabetical order.
2
Apply the identified +1+1 forward shift rule to each letter of MILK\text{MILK}.
M+1=N\text{M} + 1 = \text{N}, I+1=J\text{I} + 1 = \text{J}, L+1=M\text{L} + 1 = \text{M}, K+1=L\text{K} + 1 = \text{L}.
Applying identical positional shifts maintains the analogy logic.
3
Combine the resulting letters in sequence.
NJML\text{NJML}.
The final letter-group formed is NJML\text{NJML}.
