HGCA is related to LKGE in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, BKOM is related to FOSQ. To which of the following is NSJD related, following the same logic?
PLNH
HSRD
LPRY
RWNH
RWNH
Apply the positional shift (+4, +4, +4, +4) to each letter in the word to find the corresponding code.
Apply the positional shift (+4, +4, +4, +4) to each letter in the word to find the corresponding code.
Analyze the first pattern
HGCA to LKGE: H+4=L, G+4=K, C+4=G, A+4=E. The pattern is +4 for all positions.
Verify with the second pattern
BKOM to FOSQ: B+4=F, K+4=O, O+4=S, M+4=Q. The pattern +4 holds consistently.
Apply pattern to NSJD
N(14)+4=18(R), S(19)+4=23(W), J(10)+4=14(N), D(4)+4=8(H). Result is RWNH.
A: PLNH fails because P is not N+4 and L is not S+4; B: HSRD fails because H is not N+4 and S is not S+4; C: LPRY fails because L is not N+4 and P is not S+4.
D is correct because applying a constant shift of +4 to each letter of the input NSJD (N+4=R, S+4=W, J+4=N, D+4=H) results in RWNH.
When faced with letter analogies, always write down the numerical position (A=1, B=2...) to quickly identify if the pattern is additive, subtractive, or a mixed sequence.
