For the clock shown in the figure, if
O* = O Q S Z P R T, and
X* = X Z P W Y O Q,
then which one among the given options is most appropriate for P* ?
Answer: B
The answer is P R T O Q S U.
On the clock the letters run O, P, Q, ..., Z clockwise, one per hour mark. Read O* by steps around the clock: O, then +2 (Q), +4 (S), then one place behind O (Z), then +1 (P), +3 (R), +5 (T). X* follows the same rule from X: X, Z (+2), P (+4), W (-1), Y (+1), O (+3), Q (+5).
Applying it to P: P, R (+2), T (+4), O (-1), Q (+1), S (+3), U (+5), which gives P R T O Q S U.
P U W R T V X starts with a jump of 5; P T V Q S U W starts with a jump of 4; P S U P R T V repeats P and starts with a jump of 3. None follows the +2, +4, -1, +1, +3, +5 pattern.
