Choose the best alternatives in place of ? out of the four given alternatives (a), (b), (c), (d).
ACE : BDF :: FHJ : ?

Options

A. GIK
B. GHK
C. DFH
D. FHL

Explanation

To solve the analogy problem ACE : BDF :: FHJ : ?, we need to analyze the relationship between the letters in the first pair (ACE and BDF) and then apply the same relationship to the second pair (FHJ and ?).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Pattern in the First Pair (ACE : BDF)**:
- Look at the letters in the first group: A, C, E.
- Now, let's find the corresponding letters in the second group: B, D, F.
- The relationship between the letters can be described as follows:
- A (1st letter) → B (2nd letter): A + 1 = B
- C (3rd letter) → D (4th letter): C + 1 = D
- E (5th letter) → F (6th letter): E + 1 = F
- We see that each letter in the first group is followed by the letter that comes immediately after it in the alphabet.

2. **Apply the Same Pattern to the Second Pair (FHJ : ?)**:
- Now, we will apply the same logic to the letters F, H, J.
- F (6th letter) → ? (next letter): F + 1 = G
- H (8th letter) → ? (next letter): H + 1 = I
- J (10th letter) → ? (next letter): J + 1 = K

3. **Combine the Results**:
- Therefore, if we follow the same pattern, the letters that correspond to F, H, J will be G, I, K.
- Thus, the answer to the question is GIK.

### Final Answer:
GIK
