Select the pair that follows the same logic: AZY : CXW, EVU : ?
GTS
GSR
GTR
HSS
GTS
Observe the first and third letters skip forward by +2, while the middle letter remains part of a reverse alphabet pair pattern or simple -2 shift.
Observe the first and third letters skip forward by +2, while the middle letter remains part of a reverse alphabet pair pattern or simple -2 shift.
Analyze the first transformation: AZY to CXW
Compare letters: A(1) to C(3) is +2. Z(26) to X(24) is -2. Y(25) to W(23) is -2.
Apply the pattern to EVU
E(5) + 2 = 7 (G). V(22) - 2 = 20 (T). U(21) - 2 = 19 (S). Resulting cluster is GTS.
B: GSR is wrong because the third letter should be S, not R. C: GTR is wrong because the third letter should be S, not R. D: HSS is wrong because the first letter should be G, not H.
A is correct because applying the +2, -2, -2 logic to EVU yields G, T, and S respectively.
For letter analogy questions, always write down the numerical values of the letters (A=1, B=2... Z=26) to spot arithmetic shifts instantly.
