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.
HEATED : TWAHWX :: BODIES : ZMXSWI :: CABLES : ?

  1. A
    YAZPXI
  2. B
    YAZQWJ
  3. C
    YAZPWI
  4. D
    YBZPWI

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's investigate the pattern by examining the cross-positions or direct changes.
For HEATED : TWAHWX
Let's reverse the word HEATED → DETAHE.
Now compare DETAHE with TWAHWX:

D → T (No direct short shift)
Let's check pairs or opposite letters:
H → T, E → W, A → A, T → H, E → W, D → X
Let's look at the vowels and consonants or reverse values:
H (8) → Opposite is S (19) →19+1=20 (T)
E (5) → Opposite is V (22) →22+1=23 (W)
A (1) → Opposite is Z (26) →26+1=27=1 (A)
T (20) → Opposite is G (7) →7+1=8 (H)
E (5) → Opposite is V (22) →22+1=23 (W)
D (4) → Opposite is W (23) →23+1=24 (X)

Wow! The logic is: (Opposite letter value) + 1.

Let's verify with BODIES : ZMXSWI

B (2) → Opposite Y (25) +1=26 (Z)

O (15) → Opposite L (12) +1=13 (M)

D (4) → Opposite W (23) +1=24 (X)

I (9) → Opposite R (18) +1=19 (S)

E (5) → Opposite V (22) +1=23 (W)

S (19) → Opposite H (8) +1=9 (I)
This perfectly matches ZMXSWI.

Now, apply this pattern to CABLES:

C (3) → Opposite X (24) +1=25 (Y)

A (1) → Opposite Z (26) +1=27=1 (A)

B (2) → Opposite Y (25) +1=26 (Z)

L (12) → Opposite O (15) +1=16 (P)

E (5) → Opposite V (22) +1=23 (W)

S (19) → Opposite H (8) +1=9 (I)

The coded word is YAZPWI.
