JGOK is related to HEMI in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, TQYU is related to ROWS. To which of the following options is NKSO related, following the same logic?
LIMQ
LIQM
ILMQ
ILQM
LIQM
Identify the reverse alphabetical pattern: J(+3)=M, G(+1)=H, O(-6)=I, K(-2)=I... Wait, check the skip: J,G,O,K тЖТ H,E,M,I. J(-2)=H, G(-2)=E, O(-2)=M, K(-2)=I. It's a simple -2 shift for all positions.

Analyze the transformation rule
Compare J G O K to H E M I. J(10)-2=H(8), G(7)-2=E(5), O(15)-2=M(13), K(11)-2=I(9). The logic is a consistent shift of -2 for each letter.
Apply logic to NKSO
Transform N K S O using the -2 rule: N(14)-2=L(12), K(11)-2=I(9), S(19)-2=Q(17), O(15)-2=M(13). The result is L I Q M.
A: LIMQ is incorrect (last letter is Q, logic demands M). C: ILMQ is incorrect (first letter is I, logic demands L). D: ILQM is incorrect (second and third letters do not match).
B is correct because the transformation follows a constant positional shift of -2 (minus 2) for each letter of the original word.
Always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, B=2...) first; it makes detecting constant shifts like -2 or +3 instantaneous.
