CYTV is related to DZUW in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, GKOS is related to HLPT. To which of the following is BAHG related, following the same logic?
MJGH
PLIY
ALPO
CBIH
CBIH
Apply a simple +1 positional shift to each letter in the string to find the consecutive alphabetical successor.
Apply a simple +1 positional shift to each letter in the string to find the consecutive alphabetical successor.
Analyze the pattern
Compare CYTV to DZUW: C+1=D, Y+1=Z, T+1=U, V+1=W. The rule is adding 1 to each letter position (+1 shift).
Verify the pattern with GKOS
Compare GKOS to HLPT: G+1=H, K+1=L, O+1=P, S+1=T. The rule +1 is consistent across both examples.
Apply to BAHG
Apply the +1 rule to BAHG: B+1=C, A+1=B, H+1=I, G+1=H. The resulting code is CBIH.
A: MJGH does not follow the +1 shift logic. B: PLIY uses inconsistent letter shifts. C: ALPO deviates from the established +1 pattern.
D is correct because applying the +1 alphabetical shift to each letter in BAHG (B+1=C, A+1=B, H+1=I, G+1=H) results in CBIH.
For letter analogies, always check the difference between the first and last letters first to eliminate options quickly if the pattern is consistent.
