CYBS is related to GWFQ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, KUJO is related to OSNM. To which of the following options is SQRK related, following the same logic?
UOWH
VNWJ
WOVI
UPVH
WOVI
Identify the positional shift constant: Add +4 to every letter's rank (A=1, B=2...Z=26) to find the corresponding target letter.
Identify the positional shift constant: Add +4 to every letter's rank (A=1, B=2...Z=26) to find the corresponding target letter.
Analyze the relationship pattern
Compare CYBS to GWFQ: C(3)+4=G(7), Y(25)+4=C(3), B(2)+4=F(6), S(19)+4=W(23). Wait, let us re-check the logic: C+4=G, Y+4=C (25+4=29, 29-26=3), B+4=F, S+4=W. Actually, the pattern is +4 for each character.
Verify with the second pair
Compare KUJO to OSNM: K(11)+4=O(15), U(21)+4=Y(25) - Wait, O is 15. The prompt says KUJO to OSNM. Let us map: K(11)+4=O(15), U(21)-6=O(15)? No. Let us re-examine: K(11)+4=O(15), U(21)-6=O, J(10)+3=M(13), O(15)-2=M. Correction: The pattern is +4, +4, +4, +4.
Apply logic to SQRK
Applying +4 to each: S(19)+4=W(23), Q(17)+4=U(21), R(18)+4=V(22), K(11)+4=O(15). Result is W, U, V, O. Looking at the options, C is WOVI. Let us check the original letter shift again: S(19)+4=W, Q(17)-2=O, R(18)+4=V, K(11)-2=I. Pattern: +4, -2, +4, -2.
A: UOWH is incorrect because it does not follow the +4, -2, +4, -2 pattern starting from S. B: VNWJ is incorrect as it deviates from the required character shifts. D: UPVH is incorrect because it produces a wrong sequence compared to the +4/-2 rule.
C is correct because the logic follows a sequence of adding 4 to the 1st and 3rd letters and subtracting 2 from the 2nd and 4th letters (S+4=W, Q-2=O, R+4=V, K-2=I).
Always verify if the shift is uniform (+N) or alternating (+N, -M) if a simple +N pattern does not yield the provided options.
