Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of ::?
# : UWC :: OHW : %​

# : UWC :: OHW : %

We have to find the letter-clusters that should replace # and % so that both sides of the analogy follow the same pattern.

Option (C):
# = SRA and % = QMY
So,
SRA : UWC :: OHW : QMY
​
Step 1: Check the pattern between SRA → UWC
Compare each letter in order:
From To Operation
S → U +2
R → W +5
A → C +2

Hence, the pattern followed is (+2, +5, +2) in the alphabetical order.

Step 2: Apply the same pattern to OHW
From +2 +5 +2
O → Q H → M W → Y
Result = QMY

Step 3: Verify
Since the same (+2, +5, +2) logic is valid in both cases —
SRA → UWC and OHW → QMY —
the relationship is perfectly consistent.

The correct answer is: (c) # = SRA and % = QMY
