UDVA is related to CLDI in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, AJBG is related to IRJO. To which of the following options is YHZE related, following the same logic?
GPHM
GTFY
GHYT
GBHY
GPHM
Identify the relationship using the sum of the positions of corresponding letters from the start and end of the alphabet (sum = 27), specifically reverse mapping each letter.
Identify the relationship using the sum of the positions of corresponding letters from the start and end of the alphabet (sum = 27), specifically reverse mapping each letter.
Analyze the pattern UDVA to CLDI
Convert letters to positions: U=21, D=4, V=22, A=1. Transformed to C=3, L=12, D=4, I=9. Notice the relation: U(21)+6=27(C), D(4)+8=12(L), V(22)+8=30(D), A(1)+8=9(I). Actually, the relationship is a reverse letter pair shift: U+8=C, D+8=L, V+8=D, A+8=I (All modulo 26).
Verify with AJBG to IRJO
A(1)+8=9(I), J(10)+8=18(R), B(2)+8=10(J), G(7)+8=15(O). The pattern consistently adds 8 to the positional value of each letter.
Apply logic to YHZE
Apply +8 to each letter of YHZE: Y(25)+8 = 33 mod 26 = 7(G), H(8)+8 = 16(P), Z(26)+8 = 34 mod 26 = 8(H), E(5)+8 = 13(M). The result is GPHM.
B: GTFY starts with G but fails the second letter transformation (T instead of P); C: GHYT fails the transformation completely for the last two letters; D: GBHY fails the transformation for the middle letters.
A is correct because applying a shift of +8 to the positional value of each letter in YHZE (Y+8=G, H+8=P, Z+8=H, E+8=M) results in GPHM.
Always convert letters to numbers (A=1, Z=26) immediately. If the pattern is not obvious, check the sum of pairs or constant addition/subtraction.
