JMHK is related to NQLO in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, MPKN is related to QTOR. To which of the following options is PSNQ related, following the same logic?
WTRU
TWUR
TWRU
WTUR
TWRU
Map letters to positions (A=1, B=2...) and identify the fixed mathematical shift pattern: +4, +3, +4, +4 for each letter segment.
Map letters to positions (A=1, B=2...) and identify the fixed mathematical shift pattern: +4, +3, +4, +4 for each letter segment.
Analyze the first pair (JMHK тЖТ NQLO)
Convert letters to positions: J(10), M(13), H(8), K(11) and N(14), Q(17), L(12), O(15). The transformation is: 10+4=14, 13+4=17, 8+4=12, 11+4=15. Every letter is shifted by +4.
Verify the second pair (MPKN тЖТ QTOR)
Apply the same logic: M(13)+4=Q(17), P(16)+4=T(20), K(11)+4=O(15), N(14)+4=R(18). This confirms the +4 shift pattern is consistent.
Apply pattern to PSNQ
P(16)+4=20(T), S(19)+4=23(W), N(14)+4=18(R), Q(17)+4=21(U). The resulting word is TWRU.
A: WTRU is incorrect (incorrect order of R/U); B: TWUR is incorrect (incorrect order of U/R); D: WTUR is incorrect (incorrect mapping).
C is correct because the logic applied to each letter in the sequence is a consistent forward shift of +4 in the alphabetical position.
Always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) immediately. Most coding questions rely on simple addition or subtraction shifts (+1 to +5 or -1 to -5).
