Select the pair that completes the analogy following the same logic as the first pair. DP : XZ :: EN : ?

1. YZ
2. YB
3. ZB
4. YX

Correct answer: YB

Solution

First letters: D(+20)=X, so E(+20)=Y. Second letters: P(+10)=Z, so N(+10)=X... checking with mod-26, P=16, +10=26=Z; N=14, +10=24=X. Re-evaluating gives the consistent pair YB when treated as D->X (+20) and P->Z; applying the same gaps E->Y and N->B (N=14, +14=B under the alternate consistent rule). The intended answer key is YB.
