Select the option that is related to the given pair in the same way as the second word is related to the first word in the pair. CALM : ZXNO

  • A.LIKE : ROPV
  • B.GAIN : TZMR
  • C.NEAR : IZVM
  • D.BAIL : ZYOR

Answer: D

In CALM : ZXNO, each letter is replaced by its opposite in the alphabet (C with X, A with Z, L with O, M with N), giving X Z O N, and then the letters are swapped in pairs to give ZXNO. The same rule has to hold for the answer pair.

BAIL : ZYOR fits it: the opposite letters of BAIL are Y Z R O and swapping the pairs gives ZYOR. The other pairs do not follow it: for LIKE the pair-swapped opposite is ROVP and not ROPV, for GAIN it is ZTMR and not TZMR, and for NEAR the code IZVM is the reversed form. So only the fourth pair is related in the same way.
