Question

Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. DEFGHI: FHHJJL :: MPQSIV: OSSVKY :: POLICE : ?

Accepted Answer

Let's study the positional transformations from DEFGHI → FHHJJL: D (4) + 2 → F (6) E (5) + 3 → H (8) F (6) + 2 → H (8) G (7) + 3 → J (10) H (8) + 2 → J (10) I (9) + 3 → L (12) The pattern is alternating shifts of +2, +3, +2, +3, +2, +3 .Let's double-check with MPQSIV → OSSVKY: M (13) + 2 = 15 → O P (16) + 3 = 19 → S Q (17) + 2 = 19 → S S (19) + 3 = 22 → V I (9) + 2 = 11 → K V (22) + 3 = 25 → Y The logic holds up.Let's apply this pattern to POLICE: P (16) + 2 = 18 → R O (15) + 3 = 18 → R L (12) +

Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. $DEFGHI: FHHJJL :: MPQSIV: OSSVKY :: POLICE : ?$
