ACEG is related to CEGI. In the same way, IKMO is related to KMOQ. To which of the following is SUWY related, following the same logic?
UWYA
VWYA
UWYB
UWYC
UWYA
Observe the pattern: each letter in the input moves forward by 2 positions in the alphabet, and the last letter wraps back to the beginning to form the next term.
Observe the pattern: each letter in the input moves forward by 2 positions in the alphabet, and the last letter wraps back to the beginning to form the next term.
Analyze the pattern
In ACEG to CEGI: A → C (+2), C → E (+2), E → G (+2), G → I (+2). The pattern is +2 for all letters.
Verify pattern consistency
Applying +2 to IKMO: I → K (+2), K → M (+2), M → O (+2), O → Q (+2). The logic is consistent: every letter shifts forward by 2 places.
Apply logic to SUWY
S+2=U, U+2=W, W+2=Y, Y+2=A (since the alphabet is cyclic, Y → Z → A).
B: VWYA has incorrect starting letters (V instead of U). C: UWYB has an incorrect fourth letter (B instead of A). D: UWYC has an incorrect fourth letter (C instead of A).
A is correct because applying a +2 shift to each letter of SUWY results in U, W, Y, and A respectively.
For cyclic patterns, always remember that Z + 1 = A and Y + 2 = A, which is a common source of traps in coding-decoding questions.
