YTXS is related to QLPK in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, UPTO is related to MHLG. To which of the following options is RMQL related, following the same logic?
EJID
EJDI
JEID
JEDI
JEID
Observe the pattern of each character independently: Y-8=Q, T-8=L, X-8=P, S-8=K. The logic is a consistent -8 shift for every letter.
Observe the pattern of each character independently: Y-8=Q, T-8=L, X-8=P, S-8=K. The logic is a consistent -8 shift for every letter.
Analyze the relationship between YTXS and QLPK
Convert letters to positions: Y(25), T(20), X(24), S(19). Q(17), L(12), P(16), K(11). The shift is: 25-8=17(Q), 20-8=12(L), 24-8=16(P), 19-8=11(K).
Validate the pattern with UPTO and MHLG
U(21), P(16), T(20), O(15). Applying the -8 shift: 21-8=13(M), 16-8=8(H), 20-8=12(L), 15-8=7(G). Pattern matches MHLG.
Apply the logic to RMQL
R(18), M(13), Q(17), L(12). Applying -8: 18-8=10(J), 13-8=5(E), 17-8=9(I), 12-8=4(D). Result: JEID.
A: EJID, B: EJDI, and D: JEDI all fail the consistent -8 shift rule required to obtain JEID.
C is correct because applying a consistent backward shift of 8 positions to each letter in RMQL (R-8=J, M-8=E, Q-8=I, L-8=D) results in JEID.
In coding-decoding questions with four letters, always check the shift for the first and last letters first to quickly eliminate at least two incorrect options.
