TQSO is related to MJLH in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, VSUQ is related to OLNJ. To which of the following options is ROQM related, following the same logic?
HKJF
HKFJ
KHFJ
KHJF
KHJF
Identify the positional shifts in the alphabet: T(20) to M(13) is -7, Q(17) to J(10) is -7, S(19) to L(12) is -7, O(15) to H(8) is -7. Apply -7 to each letter of the target word.
Identify the positional shifts in the alphabet: T(20) to M(13) is -7, Q(17) to J(10) is -7, S(19) to L(12) is -7, O(15) to H(8) is -7. Apply -7 to each letter of the target word.
Analyze the transformation pattern
Comparing TQSO to MJLH: T(20)-7=M(13), Q(17)-7=J(10), S(19)-7=L(12), O(15)-7=H(8). The logic is a consistent shift of -7 for every letter.
Verify with secondary pair
VSUQ to OLNJ: V(22)-7=O(15), S(19)-7=L(12), U(21)-7=N(14), Q(17)-7=J(10). The -7 pattern is verified.
Apply logic to ROQM
R(18)-7=K(11), O(15)-7=H(8), Q(17)-7=J(10), M(13)-7=F(6). The resulting word is KHJF.
A: HKJF starts with H, which is incorrect as R-7 is K. B: HKFJ is a variation of incorrect letter order. C: KHJ F (with a space or different structure) is not the correct sequence; D: KHJF matches the calculated transformation perfectly.
D is correct because applying a constant shift of -7 to each letter in ROQM (R-7=K, O-7=H, Q-7=J, M-7=F) results in the sequence KHJF.
In coding-decoding questions, always check the letter-position difference (A=1, Z=26) first as it is the most common underlying logic in competitive exams.
