IMOL is related to PTVS in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, FJLI is related to MQSP. To which of the following options is KOQN related, following the same logic?
QUWT
RVXU
RUVX
QUWX
RVXU
Find the positional shift for each letter from IMOL to PTVS. Each letter increases by +7 positions in the alphabetical order.
Find the positional shift for each letter from IMOL to PTVS. Each letter increases by +7 positions in the alphabetical order.
Step 1: Analyze the given relationship (IMOL to PTVS)
Convert each letter to its alphabetical position: I(9) to P(16) [+7], M(13) to T(20) [+7], O(15) to V(22) [+7], L(12) to S(19) [+7]. The consistent logic is adding +7 to each letter's position.
Step 2: Verify with the second pair (FJLI to MQSP)
F(6)+7=M(13), J(10)+7=Q(17), L(12)+7=S(19), I(9)+7=P(16). The +7 rule is verified and holds true.
Step 3: Apply the +7 rule to KOQN
K(11) + 7 = 18 (R), O(15) + 7 = 22 (V), Q(17) + 7 = 24 (X), N(14) + 7 = 21 (U). Combining these letters gives RVXU.
A: QUWT gives incorrect letter shifts; C: RUVX has incorrect letter ordering for Q and U; D: QUWX results from incorrect arithmetic on positions.
B is correct because applying a uniform +7 forward shift to each letter of KOQN yields RVXU.
For letter coding questions, always write down the numerical 1-26 positions immediately to easily spot constant or varying arithmetic shifts.
