Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second is related to the first. TVXZ : W Y A C :: PRTV : ?
SUWY
STUW
SU W Z
SVWY
SUWY
Identify the positional shift for the first letter; if the sequence is +3, +3, +3, +3, apply the same constant increment to all letters of the target cluster.
Identify the positional shift for the first letter; if the sequence is +3, +3, +3, +3, apply the same constant increment to all letters of the target cluster.
Analyze the relationship between TVXZ and WYAC
Map each letter: T(20)+3=W(23), V(22)+3=Y(25), X(24)+3=A(27/1), Z(26)+3=C(29/3). The logic is a consistent +3 shift for each letter.
Apply the same logic to PRTV
P(16)+3=S(19), R(18)+3=U(21), T(20)+3=W(23), V(22)+3=Y(25). The resulting cluster is SUWY.
B: STUW is incorrect as it does not follow the +3 pattern for all positions. C: SUWZ is incorrect because Z follows Y, not W+3. D: SVWY is incorrect as the second letter transformation V+3 results in Y, not V.
A is correct because applying a constant shift of +3 to each position in PRTV (16, 18, 20, 22) results in SUWY (19, 21, 23, 25).
When solving letter analogies, always write the numerical rank (A=1, B=2...) above each letter to instantly visualize the mathematical pattern.
