ABCD is related to ZYXW in a certain way. In the same way, EFGH is related to VUTS. To which of the following is IJKL related?
RQPO
SRQP
PONM
MLKJ
RQPO
Identify the reverse alphabetical pair for each letter. A is paired with Z (1st from start/end), B with Y, etc. Apply this same reverse mapping to IJKL.
Identify the reverse alphabetical pair for each letter. A is paired with Z (1st from start/end), B with Y, etc. Apply this same reverse mapping to IJKL.
Analyze the pattern
In ABCD → ZYXW, each letter is replaced by its opposite in the alphabet (A=Z, B=Y, C=X, D=W). This is the Reverse Letter pattern.
Apply pattern to IJKL
Map each letter of IJKL to its reverse counterpart: I (9th) becomes R (9th from end), J (10th) becomes Q (10th from end), K (11th) becomes P (11th from end), L (12th) becomes O (12th from end). Result: RQPO.
B: SRQP is incorrect because S corresponds to H, not I; C: PONM is incorrect as P corresponds to K; D: MLKJ is incorrect as it represents a reversed sequence but not the opposite-letter pair mapping.
A is correct because each letter in the sequence IJKL is replaced by its corresponding letter from the reverse end of the English alphabet (I=R, J=Q, K=P, L=O), resulting in RQPO.
