Map the alphabetical positions of letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and identify the constant numerical shift applied to each character position.
Map the alphabetical positions of letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and identify the constant numerical shift applied to each character position.
Analyze the relationship between FIND and GKPF
Map letters to positions: F(6), I(9), N(14), D(4). Target: G(7), K(11), P(16), F(6). Patterns: F+1=G, I+2=K, N+2=P, D+2=F. Note: The first letter has +1, the rest have +2.
Apply the pattern to MILD
M(13)+1=N(14), I(9)+2=K(11), L(12)+2=N(14), D(4)+2=F(6). Result: N, K, N, F.
B: OJNF is incorrect because it uses +1 for the second letter instead of +2; C: NKNF is the correct sequence; D: OLNF is incorrect because it uses +2 for the first letter instead of +1.
C is correct because the pattern requires adding 1 to the first letter and 2 to all subsequent letters, which yields NKNF.
Always check if the increment is constant for all letters or if the first letter follows a separate sub-pattern compared to the rest of the string.
