OLQN is related to URWT in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, LINK is related to ROTQ. To which of the following options is IFKH related, following the same logic?
OLQN
LONQ
LOQN
OLNQ
OLQN
Identify the pattern as a simple reversal of the first two letters and the last two letters of the given four-letter word.
Identify the pattern as a simple reversal of the first two letters and the last two letters of the given four-letter word.
Analyze the relationship between OLQN and URWT
Looking at the structure, OLQN (1st and 2nd letters O, L) becomes LO. The 3rd and 4th letters Q, N become QN. This does not follow a standard shift pattern. Instead, look at the reversal: OL тЖТ LO, QN тЖТ NQ. Wait, check the options: the pattern is simply transposing the letters.
Identify the fixed transformation rule
Given: OLQN -> LOQN (The first two are swapped: O L -> L O). However, checking the provided logic 'OLQN is related to URWT': O+6=U, L+6=R, Q+6=W, N+6=T. The rule is +6 shift for each letter.
Apply the +6 shift rule to IFKH
I + 6 = O, F + 6 = L, K + 6 = Q, H + 6 = N. Thus, IFKH becomes OLQN.
B: LONQ is an incorrect permutation. C: LOQN is an incorrect permutation. D: OLNQ is an incorrect permutation.
A is correct because the transformation rule involves adding 6 to the positional value of each letter (I+6=O, F+6=L, K+6=Q, H+6=N), resulting in OLQN.
When dealing with four-letter word analogies, always check for a constant shift across all letters first, as it is the most common pattern in competitive exams.
