Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pair given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern. FIND: URMWBENT: YVMG

HERO : SVIL
Find the letter code by checking backward alphabetical positions (ZtoA). Each letter of the given word is replaced by its exact opposite letter in the alphabet (A < тЖТ Z, B < тЖТ Y, C < тЖТ X, etc.).
Find the letter code by checking backward alphabetical positions (ZtoA). Each letter of the given word is replaced by its exact opposite letter in the alphabet (A < тЖТ Z, B < тЖТ Y, C < тЖТ X, etc.).
Step 1: Analyze the First Pair (FIND : URMW)
Check the relationship between letters: F and U are opposites (6 + 21 = 27), I and R are opposites (9 + 18 = 27), N and M are opposites (14 + 13 = 27), D and W are opposites (4 + 23 = 27). The rule is opposite letter coding.
Step 2: Verify with the Second Pair (BENT : YVMG)
B тЖТ Y (2+25=27), E тЖТ V (5+22=27), N тЖТ M (14+13=27), T тЖТ G (20+7=27). The pattern of opposite letters holds true for both given pairs.
Step 3: Test Option B (HERO : SVIL)
H (8) + S (19) = 27, E (5) + V (22) = 27, R (18) + I (9) = 27, O (15) + L (12) = 27. HERO correctly codes to SVIL following the exact same rule.
A: FILE: VROV is incorrect because E should code to V but L should code to O (FILE тЖТ UROV). C: BEAD: YVYW is incorrect because A should code to Z. D: SAID: HZRV is incorrect because S should code to H, but A should code to Z.
B is correct because the given pairs follow the opposite letter coding rule (A to Z, B to Y, etc.), which is identically satisfied by HERO : SVIL.
Always memorize letter position pairs that sum to 27 (A-Z, B-Y, C-X, D-W, E-V, F-U, G-T, H-S, I-R, J-Q, K-P, L-O, M-N) to instantly solve alphabet coding questions in under 10 seconds.
