SOTQ is related to PLQN in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, OKPM is related to LHMJ. To which of the following options is LHMJ related, following the same logic?
EIJG
IEJG
IEGJ
EIGJ
IEJG
Identify the operation for each position: 1st letter: -3, 2nd letter: -3, 3rd letter: -3, 4th letter: -3. This applies consistently across both given pairs.
Identify the operation for each position: 1st letter: -3, 2nd letter: -3, 3rd letter: -3, 4th letter: -3. This applies consistently across both given pairs.
Analyze Pattern
Compare SOTQ (19, 15, 20, 17) to PLQN (16, 12, 17, 14). Each letter decreases by 3 (S-3=P, O-3=L, T-3=Q, Q-3=N).
Apply to LHMJ
Apply the -3 shift to LHMJ: L(12)-3=I(9), H(8)-3=E(5), M(13)-3=J(10), J(10)-3=G(7). Result: IEJG.
A: Starts with EI which is incorrect; C: Incorrect final letter G in the wrong position; D: Contains incorrect second letter I.
B is correct because applying the constant -3 shift to each character of LHMJ (L-3=I, H-3=E, M-3=J, J-3=G) results in IEJG.
For letter transformation questions, always write the positional numbers (A=1, B=2...) above the letters to identify the mathematical shift immediately.
