Select the letter-cluster pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pairs of letter-clusters given below. WJT : ZNO KAK : NEF
NKH : QOC
LBL : OEG
TFV : WJR
MTK : PXG
NKH : QOC
Identify the positional shift per letter: (1st: +3, 2nd: +4, 3rd: -2). Apply this pattern to all letters.
Identify the positional shift per letter: (1st: +3, 2nd: +4, 3rd: -2). Apply this pattern to all letters.
Analyze the Pattern
Extract the transformation rule from WJT to ZNO: W(+3)=Z, J(+4)=N, T(-2)=R. Note: T(20) to R(18) is -2. Verify with KAK: K(11)+3=N(14), A(1)+4=E(5), K(11)-5(error in question? No, wait: K-5=F? Yes, 11-5=6). Correction: The rule is actually (+3, +4, -5). Let's re-verify: W(23+3)=Z(26), J(10+4)=N(14), T(20-5)=O(15). Yes, the rule is (+3, +4, -5).
Apply Rule to NKH
Applying (+3, +4, -5) to NKH: N(14)+3=Q(17), K(11)+4=O(15), H(8)-5=C(3). This results in QOC.
B: LBL (+3, +4, -5) leads to OEF, not OEG. C: TFV (+3, +4, -5) leads to WJA, not WJR. D: MTK (+3, +4, -5) leads to PXF, not PXG.
A is correct because the sequence follows the fixed transformation pattern of +3, +4, and -5 for the respective character positions.
Always verify the transformation rule on the second given pair before applying it to the options, as rules can sometimes be non-linear or vary slightly.
