Select the related letters from the given alternatives:
MAN : PDQ :: WAN : ___}

• A. NAW
• B. ZDQ
• C. YDQ
• D. YQD

Hint:

Always double-check options after applying the pattern—small mistakes can mislead.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This is a letter shifting pattern based on fixed position changes in the English alphabet. Step 1:Analyze MAN → PDQ.
Convert letters into positions: \[ M(13) \rightarrow P(16) = +3 \] \[ A(1) \rightarrow D(4) = +3 \] \[ N(14) \rightarrow Q(17) = +3 \] So, the rule is: each letter is shifted 3 positions forward.
Step 2:Apply the same rule to WAN.
\[ W(23) \rightarrow Z(26) \] \[ A(1) \rightarrow D(4) \] \[ N(14) \rightarrow Q(17) \] Thus, \[ \text{WAN} \rightarrow \text{ZDQ} \]
Step 3:Match with options → (B)
Final Answer: ZDQ
