Choose the best alternatives in place of ? out of the four given alternatives (a), (b), (c), (d).
FILM : ADGH : : MILK :?

Options

A. ADFG
B. HDGE
C. HDGF
D. HEGF

Explanation

To solve the analogy FILM : ADGH :: MILK : ?, we need to determine the pattern used to code the letters in the first pair (FILM to ADGH) and then apply the same pattern to the second pair (MILK).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the letters in FILM and their corresponding letters in ADGH:**
- F → A
- I → D
- L → G
- M → H

2. **Determine the relationship between the letters:**
- F is the 6th letter of the alphabet, and A is the 1st letter.
- To get from F to A, we move backward 5 positions (6 - 5 = 1).
- I is the 9th letter, and D is the 4th letter.
- To get from I to D, we also move backward 5 positions (9 - 5 = 4).
- L is the 12th letter, and G is the 7th letter.
- To get from L to G, we again move backward 5 positions (12 - 5 = 7).
- M is the 13th letter, and H is the 8th letter.
- To get from M to H, we move backward 5 positions (13 - 5 = 8).

3. **Apply the same pattern to MILK:**
- M is the 13th letter. Moving backward 5 positions gives us:
- 13 - 5 = 8, which corresponds to H.
- I is the 9th letter. Moving backward 5 positions gives us:
- 9 - 5 = 4, which corresponds to D.
- L is the 12th letter. Moving backward 5 positions gives us:
- 12 - 5 = 7, which corresponds to G.
- K is the 11th letter. Moving backward 5 positions gives us:
- 11 - 5 = 6, which corresponds to F.

4. **Combine the results:**
- Therefore, MILK is coded as HDGF.

5. **Final Answer:**
- The correct option to replace the question mark is HDGF.
