VR interative CD questions - stuck on two!
DS and I have been looking at the interactive CDs and completed the free trial available on this site. On the VR test we both got stuck on q's 30 and 31 - could anyone solve them for me please?
GD is to RO as HE is to ...? (The answer is PM but we don't know why!)
MR is to CH as ZE is to ...? (answer is OT, but again we don't know how to get to this answer.)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, has anyone bought these CDs and have they been helpful?
Thanks

VR q's still makes no sense.. Brainy person required please!
Hi I'm still none the wiser for the explanation given by Gilly.
GD is to RO as HE is to ??
D is 3 letters before G
and O is 3 letters before R
E is three letters before H....yes I get that
So we know the relationship between G and D and between R and O, but what is the relationship between GD and RO - we need to know that to work out HE to ??
G to R is +11, D to O is +11, therefore we would suppose you would +11 to H and E, making SP...but this is not the answer.
Perhaps I shouldn't of posted the answer in my first post!
This is the same with the other question..
MR is to CH as ZE is to ?? What is the relationship between MR and CH?
I have looked at the Tutors free VR method & technique which explains this type of question, but it doesn't explain these two. I'm thinking I must be missing something fundamental here..!

Rev56,
I totally agree with you. My child would have struggled on this question without the multiple possible answers.
First I tried to establish a relation between GD and RO and tried to apply the same to HE. When I realised that the answer is something else I switched to the other logic and that matched with the answer.
If this was a standard type of question then I would have applied and done with the first logic. With multiple choice questions, if one logic does not find the answer among the given possible answers we try a different logic.
Yesterday I was looking at a NVR question. It was possible to apply either 'rotate 90 degrees clockwise' logic or 'flip the shape over' logic. But the given choice of answers did not include the answer that was obtained with the first logic. So had to try the next logic and one of the answers matched. I guess the above VR questions belong to this kind of questions, especially with multiple choice questions.
