Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern.
GNP : KRU
COK : GSP
VIQ : ZNV
HDL : LJQ
HNR : LTW
VAM : ZER
VAM : ZER
Quick Trick: Identify the pattern for each position: 1st letter +4, 2nd letter +7, 3rd letter +2. Apply this consistently to the third pair.
Identify the pattern for each position: 1st letter +4, 2nd letter +7, 3rd letter +2. Apply this consistently to the third pair.
Analyze Pattern 1 (GNP : KRU)
G(7)+4=K(11), N(14)+4=R(18), P(16)+5=U(21). Pattern is +4, +4, +5.
Analyze Pattern 2 (COK : GSP)
C(3)+4=G(7), O(15)+4=S(19), K(11)+5=P(16). Pattern is +4, +4, +5.
Apply to VAM
V(22)+4=Z(26), A(1)+4=E(5), M(13)+5=R(18). Result is ZER.
A: VIQ to ZNV uses a different shifting sequence. B: HDL to LJQ adds +4, +4, +5 but creates LJQ instead of following the logic structure properly. C: HNR to LTW fails the +4, +4, +5 transformation rule.
D is correct because the logic applied across both given pairs is adding 4 to the first two letters and 5 to the third letter, which results in VAM becoming ZER.
When faced with letter analogies, always convert letters to their numerical positions (1-26) to identify the increment sequence immediately.
