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 :: ? # : VXB :: ACG : %

Correct option is C

We are given:
# : VXB :: ACG : %
We need to identify the same pattern on both sides of the analogy.
Step 1: Determine the pattern from ACG → %
Let’s convert letters to their positions in the alphabet:
A = 1, C = 3, G = 7
Try adding +1 to each:
A + 1 = B
C + 1 = D
G + 1 = H
 So, ACG → BDH by adding 1 to each letter
Thus, % = BDH
Now check which options have % = BDH:
Option C: % = BDH
Option D: % = BDH
(A & B have KMQ )
Step 2: Determine the pattern from # → VXB
We know V = 22, X = 24, B = 2
Now reverse by subtracting 1 (if assuming pattern is -1 per letter):
V (22) - 1 = U (21)
X (24) - 1 = W (23)
B (2) - 1 = A (1)
So, # = UWA
This fits the same pattern of shifting each letter by +1 or -1
Step 3: Match with options
Option C:
= UWA, % = BDH
