IEMJ is related to GCKH in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, MIQN is related to KGOL. To which of the following options is PLTQ related, following the same logic?
NJRO
JNOR
JNRO
NJOR
NJRO
Map letters to positions (A=1, Z=26) and observe the alternating shift pattern: -2, +2, -2, +2 for each letter.
Map letters to positions (A=1, Z=26) and observe the alternating shift pattern: -2, +2, -2, +2 for each letter.
Analyze the given pattern
Comparing IEMJ to GCKH: I(9)→G(7) is -2, E(5)→C(3) is -2, M(13)→K(11) is -2, J(10)→H(8) is -2. The rule is consistent subtraction of 2 from each position.
Apply logic to PLTQ
Applying the -2 shift to PLTQ: P(16)-2=14(N), L(12)-2=10(J), T(20)-2=18(R), Q(17)-2=15(O). Resulting letters: N, J, R, O.
B: JNOR is an incorrect permutation. C: JNRO is a slight shift error. D: NJOR is a slight shift error.
A is correct because applying the -2 shift to each letter of PLTQ results in NJRO.
Always convert letters to their numerical positions (1-26) first; this makes finding additive or subtractive patterns much faster than counting on fingers.
