MPLO is related to RUQT in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ILHK is related to NQMP. To which of the following options is FIEH related, following the same logic?
NKMJ
KNMJ
KNJM
NKJM
KNJM
Identify the reverse alphabetical pattern: each letter in the first group is shifted to reach the second, or evaluate their positions as constant pairs (M-R, P-U, L-Q, O-T).
Identify the reverse alphabetical pattern: each letter in the first group is shifted to reach the second, or evaluate their positions as constant pairs (M-R, P-U, L-Q, O-T).
Analyze the mapping pattern
Compare MPLO to RUQT. M(13) + 5 = R(18), P(16) + 5 = U(21), L(12) + 5 = Q(17), O(15) + 5 = T(20). The rule is +5 for each letter.
Apply to ILHK
I(9) + 5 = N(14), L(12) + 5 = Q(17), H(8) + 5 = M(13), K(11) + 5 = P(16). This results in NQMP, confirming the rule +5.
Solve for FIEH
F(6) + 5 = 11(K), I(9) + 5 = 14(N), E(5) + 5 = 10(J), H(8) + 5 = 13(M). The result is KNJM.
A: NKMJ is incorrect because the third letter is J, not M. B: KNMJ is incorrect because the third letter is J, not M. D: NKJM is incorrect because the order of letters is wrong; the logic requires +5 positionally resulting in KNJM.
C is correct because applying the +5 alphabetical position shift to each letter of FIEH (F+5=K, I+5=N, E+5=J, H+5=M) results in KNJM.
For coding questions, always check the letter difference first. If the shift is constant, apply it immediately to the target word to save time.
