CEG is related to KMO in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, GIK is related to OQS. To which of the following is MOQ related, following the same logic?
LNP
UWY
IKM
BDF
UWY
Observe that the jump between the first letter of the first term (C=3) and the first letter of the second term (K=11) is +8. Apply the same +8 shift to the first letter of the target term (M=13) to get 13+8 = 21 (U).
Observe that the jump between the first letter of the first term (C=3) and the first letter of the second term (K=11) is +8. Apply the same +8 shift to the first letter of the target term (M=13) to get 13+8 = 21 (U).
Analyze the transformation pattern
Compare the pairs: C(3) E(5) G(7) to K(11) M(13) O(15). The transformation is +8 to each corresponding letter (3+8=11, 5+8=13, 7+8=15). Similarly, G(7) I(9) K(11) to O(15) Q(17) S(19) is also a +8 shift for every letter.
Apply pattern to target word
Apply the identified +8 pattern to M(13) O(15) Q(17): M(13+8=21, which is U), O(15+8=23, which is W), Q(17+8=25, which is Y). The result is UWY.
A: LNP corresponds to L(12) N(14) P(16), which has no +8 relationship to MOQ. C: IKM corresponds to I(9) K(11) M(13), representing a -4 shift from MOQ. D: BDF corresponds to B(2) D(4) F(6), which lacks the required +8 progression.
B is correct because adding 8 to the positional values of each letter in MOQ (13, 15, 17) results in 21, 23, 25, which corresponds to UWY.
When dealing with three-letter analogies, always check the difference between the first letters of the two terms first; if it is constant across examples, you have likely found the rule for all letters.
