BKOT is related to DMQV in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, JHAP is related to LJCR. To which of the following is NEIM related, following the same logic?
POLS
HJTF
PGKO
ADNG
PGKO
Apply a constant +2 shift to each letter of the source word: B(2)+2=D(4), K(11)+2=M(13), O(15)+2=Q(17), T(20)+2=V(22).
Apply a constant +2 shift to each letter of the source word: B(2)+2=D(4), K(11)+2=M(13), O(15)+2=Q(17), T(20)+2=V(22).
Analyze the established pattern
Compare BKOT to DMQV: B+2=D, K+2=M, O+2=Q, T+2=V. The logic is a consistent +2 shift for every letter.
Verify with the second pair
Compare JHAP to LJCR: J+2=L, H+2=J, A+2=C, P+2=R. The +2 pattern holds true.
Apply logic to NEIM
N(14)+2=P(16), E(5)+2=G(7), I(9)+2=K(11), M(13)+2=O(15). The resulting code is PGKO.
A: POLS does not follow the +2 shift from NEIM (e.g., N to P is +2, but E to O is +10). B: HJTF does not follow the +2 shift (e.g., N to H is -6). D: ADNG does not follow the +2 shift (e.g., N to A is -13).
C is correct because applying a constant +2 alphabetical shift to each letter of NEIM (N+2=P, E+2=G, I+2=K, M+2=O) yields PGKO.
For letter analogy questions, always write down the numerical position of letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) first to spot shifts instantly.
