Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Pairing rule: positions add to 27 (A-26, B-25, C-24...).
Step 2: Check options: C(3)+X(24)=27, I(9)+S(19)=28 M(13)+N(14)=27.
Step 3: L(12) should pair with O(15) → 12+15=27 so correct pair. Wrong given pair is:
(C) I S.
Step 2: Check options: C(3)+X(24)=27, I(9)+S(19)=28 M(13)+N(14)=27.
Step 3: L(12) should pair with O(15) → 12+15=27 so correct pair. Wrong given pair is:
