Question

Choose from the given alternatives that will replace the ?

aghb : flmg : : hlmi : ?

• A. rzbt
• B. ucew
• C. Imnh
• D. cghd

Answer 1

The correct option is D cghd

Considering LHS,

Replacing each alphabet by its position in the alphabetic sequence, we get

$\Rightarrow aghb=1|7|8|2|$ and $flmg=6|12|13|7$

$\Rightarrow flmg-aghb=6-1|12-7|13-8|7-2=5|5|5|5$

Now taking the RHS,

$\Rightarrow hlmi=8|12|13|9$

Subtracting $5|5|5|5$ to $hlmi$ as obtained from LHS, we get

$\Rightarrow 8-5|12-5|13-5|9-5=3|7|8|4$

Replacing $3|7|8|4$ by corresponding alphabets. we get

$\Rightarrow 3|7|8|4=cghd$

Hence, answer is option $D$
