KBWJ is related to MZZG in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, OXCD is related to QVFA. To which of the following options is STIX related, following the same logic?
VRKU
URLU
VSLT
TSLV
URLU
Analyze the position shifts for each letter from left to right. Notice that the pattern of shifts for KBWJ to MZZG is +2, -2, +3, -3, repeating or alternating.
Analyze the position shifts for each letter from left to right. Notice that the pattern of shifts for KBWJ to MZZG is +2, -2, +3, -3, repeating or alternating.
Analyze the First Pair (KBWJ to MZZG)
K (+2) = M, B (-2) = Z, W (+3) = Z, J (-3) = G. The pattern of operations applied to consecutive positions is +2, -2, +3, -3.
Verify with the Second Pair (OXCD to QVFA)
O (+2) = Q, X (-2) = V, C (+3) = F, D (-3) = A. This confirms the exact same letter shift rule (+2, -2, +3, -3).
Apply Rule to Target Word (STIX)
S + 2 = U, T - 2 = R, I + 3 = L, X - 3 = U. Combining these letters gives URLU.
A: VRKU has incorrect shifts, C: VSLT has incorrect shifts, D: TSLV has incorrect shifts.
B is correct because applying the shift pattern +2, -2, +3, -3 to the letters of STIX yields URLU.
Always verify positional letter shifts across multiple examples before applying to the target word in coding-decoding questions.
