LHKG is related to JFIE in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, RNQM is related to PLOK. To which of the following is UQTP related, following the same logic?
OSNR
SORN
SONR
OSRN
SORN
Apply a simple -2, -2, -2, -2 shift to each letter to get the corresponding code.
Apply a simple -2, -2, -2, -2 shift to each letter to get the corresponding code.
Analyze the pattern
Comparing LHKG to JFIE: L(12)-2=J(10), H(8)-2=F(6), K(11)-2=I(9), G(7)-2=E(5). The pattern is a consistent -2 shift for each letter.
Verify with secondary pair
Comparing RNQM to PLOK: R(18)-2=P(16), N(14)-2=L(12), Q(17)-2=O(15), M(13)-2=K(11). The -2 pattern is confirmed.
Apply pattern to UQTP
U(21)-2=S(19), Q(17)-2=O(15), T(20)-2=R(18), P(16)-2=N(14). Resulting word is SORN.
A: OSNR represents a different shift pattern, C: SONR has O and N swapped incorrectly, D: OSRN has an incorrect sequence for the last two letters.
B is correct because applying a consistent -2 shift to each letter of UQTP results in SORN.
When dealing with letter analogies, always write down the numerical position (A=1, Z=26) to instantly spot shifts, as addition/subtraction is clearer with numbers than letters.
