Verbal Reasoning - Analogy - Discussion

Good explanation. Thank you all.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

From above logic we have,

For first pair;
M=14 14-1=13.
O=12 12-1=11.

For second pair;
H=19 19-1=18.
J=17 17-1=16.

Therefore the final answer is 18, 16.

MO : 13 11 :: HJ : ?

H to M (starting I, J, K, L, M)= 5 (13+5=18).
J to O (starting K, L, M, N, O) = 5 (11+5=16).

h = 8 27-8 =19
j = 10, 27- 10=17 so ans is A.

Here, 'M' is the 13th letter according to alphabetical order: so 13 is given and we got 11 by subtracting 13 by 2 like that, 'H' is 8th letter according to alphabetical order and so 10+8=18; 18-2=16: so, 18:16.

I was thinking in the same way as Anand Kumar gone explained. So it's right.

The difference between MO and HJ is 5 letters. So adding 5 to 13.

11 will get 18 and 16.

I think the right answer could be 816. Because if we see the logic of MO ; 1311. We can get it by counting first alphabet i.e. M from A which comes in 13th alphabet. And then count from second alphabet i.e O which is 11th from Z.

M to O difference = 2.

11 to 13 difference = -2.

H to J = 2.

18 to 16 = -2.

Total Number of Alphabets are 26, so as per the question above mentioned:

M is the 13th letter and O is the 15th letter as in below detail:

26-13=13 That is, 26 are the total number of alphabets and 13 is the position of M.

Similarly, 26-15=11 That is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 15 is the position of O.

Similarly 26-8=18 that is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 8 is the position of H.

And 26-10=16 that is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 10 is the position of J.
