IK 3 is related to EO 7 in a certain way. In the same way, YO 5 is related to US 9. To which of the following is ZU 5 related, following the same logic?
VW 7
VX 9
VY 9
WV 7
VY 9
Apply alphabetical position shift (I-4=E, K+4=O) and note the number increment (3+4=7, 5+4=9); apply the same +4/-4/number+4 logic to the final pair.
Apply alphabetical position shift (I-4=E, K+4=O) and note the number increment (3+4=7, 5+4=9); apply the same +4/-4/number+4 logic to the final pair.
Analyze IK 3 to EO 7
I(9) - 4 = E(5); K(11) + 4 = O(15); 3 + 4 = 7. Pattern: 1st letter -4, 2nd letter +4, Number +4.
Verify YO 5 to US 9
Y(25) - 6 = S(19)? No, wait. Y(25) to U(21) is -4. O(15) to S(19) is +4. 5 + 4 = 9. Pattern confirmed: 1st letter -4, 2nd letter +4, Number +4.
Apply logic to ZU 5
Z(26) - 4 = V(22); U(21) + 4 = Y(25); 5 + 4 = 9. Result: VY 9.
A: VW 7 is incorrect as it fails the +4 increment on the number and second letter. B: VX 9 is incorrect because X is not the result of U+4. D: WV 7 is incorrect because it uses the wrong letter shifts and does not result in the number 9.
C is correct because Z(26)-4=V(22), U(21)+4=Y(25), and 5+4=9, resulting in VY 9.
In analogy questions, always solve the letter shifts and the numerical shifts as separate streams to avoid common errors in complex multi-character codes.
