If 'WORK' is related to 'VPMJ' in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, 'FAST' is related to 'EZRS'. To which of the following options is 'MIND' related, following the same logic?
LHMC
LGMC
LHMC
LINC
LHMC
Quick Trick: Observe the pattern by checking the first and last letters: subtract 1 from each position index to find the new letter.
Observe the pattern by checking the first and last letters: subtract 1 from each position index to find the new letter.
Analyze the pattern
Comparing WORK to VPMJ: W(23)-1=V(22), O(15)+1=P(16), R(18)-5=M(13), K(11)-1=J(10). Wait, let's look at FAST to EZRS: F(6)-1=E(5), A(1)-1=Z(26), S(19)-1=R(18), T(20)-1=S(19). The logic is simply subtracting 1 from the position value of every letter.
Apply logic to MIND
Apply -1 position shift to each letter of MIND: M(13)-1=L(12), I(9)-1=H(8), N(14)-1=M(13), D(4)-1=C(3). Result is LHMC.
A: LHM C is incorrect due to the extra space; B: LGMC is wrong because G is not the result of I-1; D: LINC is wrong because N is not the result of N-1.
C is correct because applying a shift of -1 to each letter of the word MIND results in L, H, M, C respectively.
In letter coding, always check if the shift is constant across all letters first; if not, check for vowel/consonant variations.
