Select the option in which the triads share the same relationship as that shared by the given triads. JINX - JXIN - JNXI COZY - CYOZ - CZYO
JAWS - JSAW - JWSA
FAIR - FARI - FIAR
EVIL - EIVL - ELIV
DRUG - DGUR - DUGR
JAWS - JSAW - JWSA
Observe the positional shift of letters: in the original word (1234), the transformations represent (1324) and (1432).
Observe the positional shift of letters: in the original word (1234), the transformations represent (1324) and (1432).
Analyze the pattern
Original: J(1) I(2) N(3) X(4). Pattern 1: JXIN (J-X-I-N). Letters at 2nd and 4th position swapped. Pattern 2: JNXI (J-N-X-I). Letters at 3rd and 4th position of the original word are shifted.
Verify Option A
Original: J(1) A(2) W(3) S(4). Pattern 1: J-S-A-W (Position 2 and 4 swapped). Pattern 2: J-W-S-A (Letters rearranged relative to original structure maintaining the same transformation logic).
B: FAIR transforms to FARI (ok) but FIAR does not match the rotation sequence. C: EVIL transforms to EIVL (ok) but ELIV does not follow the correct positional index. D: DRUG transforms to DGUR (ok) but DUGR does not maintain the sequential logic of the triad shift.
A is correct because it maintains the exact positional rearrangement logic (1234 тЖТ 1423 тЖТ 1342 sequence of indices) demonstrated in the example triads.
In letter-based triad questions, always write the indices 1, 2, 3, 4 over the letters to quickly spot if a swap or a cyclic rotation is being performed.
