ACE is related to BDF in a certain way. In the same way, GIK is related to HJL. To which of the following options is MOQ related, to following the same logic?
OPQ
NPR
NPS
NOP
NPR
Add +1 to each letter of the first term to get the second term. Apply the exact same +1 shift rule to each letter of the target word.
Add +1 to each letter of the first term to get the second term. Apply the exact same +1 shift rule to each letter of the target word.
Analyze the first pair (ACE to BDF)
A (+1) = B, C (+1) = D, E (+1) = F. The pattern is a consistent +1 forward shift for each letter.
Verify with the second pair (GIK to HJL)
G (+1) = H, I (+1) = J, K (+1) = L. The same +1 rule holds true.
Apply the rule to MOQ
M + 1 = N, O + 1 = P, Q + 1 = R. Therefore, MOQ is related to NPR.
A: OPQ is incorrect because O does not increment to O. C: NPS is incorrect because Q becomes R (+1), not S (+3). D: NOP is incorrect because Q increments to R, not P.
B is correct because applying the +1 letter shift to M, O, and Q yields N, P, and R respectively (NPR).
Always check letter position differences (forward or backward shift) before looking for vowel/consonant rules.
