RUON is related to VYSR in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, HKED is related to LOIH. To which of the given options is TWQP related, following the same logic?
AXUT
XATU
XAUT
AXTU
XAUT
Identify the positional shifts: Each letter shifts forward in the alphabet by a specific value determined by its position (1st letter + 14, 2nd letter + 14, 3rd letter + 14, 4th letter + 14).
Identify the positional shifts: Each letter shifts forward in the alphabet by a specific value determined by its position (1st letter + 14, 2nd letter + 14, 3rd letter + 14, 4th letter + 14).
Analyze the Shift Pattern
Comparing RUON to VYSR: R(18)+4=22(V), U(21)+4=25(Y), O(15)+4=19(S), N(14)+4=18(R). The logic is a consistent +4 shift for every position.
Verify with Second Pair
Comparing HKED to LOIH: H(8)+4=12(L), K(11)+4=15(O), E(5)+4=9(I), D(4)+4=8(H). The +4 rule is confirmed.
Apply Logic to Target
Applying +4 to TWQP: T(20)+4=24(X), W(23)+4=27 mod 26 = 1(A), Q(17)+4=21(U), P(16)+4=20(T). The result is XAUT.
A: AXTU is incorrect as the 2nd and 3rd letters are swapped; B: XATU is incorrect due to misplaced sequence; D: AXTU is incorrect as it modifies the initial letter.
C is correct because the logic follows a constant +4 advancement for each alphabetical position (T+4=X, W+4=A, Q+4=U, P+4=T).
When dealing with letter-based analogies, always write the numeric position (A=1, B=2...) above each letter to quickly identify the additive or subtractive pattern.
