Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two set of pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern. JKK : KFH HVO : IQL
CPR : DKN
OOP : PJM
FJL : GDI
CUK : DPG
OOP : PJM
Apply +1, -2, +1 to the first word to get the second word (e.g., J+1=K, K-2=I, K+1=L is wrong, wait: J+1=K, K-5=F, K-3=H. Actually, it is: Pos1 + 1, Pos2 - 5, Pos3 - 3). Let's re-verify: J(10)+1=K(11), K(11)-5=F(6), K(11)-3=H(8). Pattern is (+1, -5, -3).

Analyze pattern for JKK : KFH
J(10)+1=K(11), K(11)-5=F(6), K(11)-3=H(8). Pattern: (+1, -5, -3).
Verify pattern for HVO : IQL
H(8)+1=I(9), V(22)-5=Q(17), O(15)-3=L(12). The pattern (+1, -5, -3) holds.
Check Option B: OOP : PJM
O(15)+1=P(16), O(15)-5=J(10), P(16)-3=M(13). This matches the pattern (+1, -5, -3).
A: C+1=D, P-5=K, R-3=O (Result DKO, not DKN). C: F+1=G, J-5=E, L-3=I (Result GEI, not GDI). D: C+1=D, U-5=P, K-3=H (Result DPH, not DPG).
B is correct because it follows the established +1, -5, -3 transformation pattern for the three letter positions.
When encountering triplet letter pairs, always convert them to their 1-26 numerical equivalents first to reveal the hidden arithmetic operation.
