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. ROYAL: ALZRO :: ABOUT: UTPAB:: POLES: ?

  1. A
    ESNPQ
  2. B
    FRMQN
  3. C
    FSNPR
  4. D
    ESMPO

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the transformation pattern: ROYAL ALZROTake the last two letters (A, L) and reverse them ALTake the middle letter 'Y' and add Take the first two letters (R, O) and reverse them ROCombining them gives: ALZROABOUT UTPABTake the last two letters (U, T) and reverse them UTTake the middle letter 'O' and add Take the first two letters (A, B) and reverse them ABCombining them gives: UTPABPOLES ?Take the last two letters (E, S) and reverse them SETake the middle letter 'L' and add Take the first two letters (P, O) and reverse them OPCombining them gives: SEMOP -> Wait, let's look at the option choices.Let's re-verify option letters:Maybe the rearrangement is moving positions instead of reversing?Let's trace positions by indices (1, 2, 3, 4, 5):R(1) O(2) Y(3) A(4) L(5) A(4) L(5) Z(3+1) R(1) O(2)Ah! The order of positions becomes: 4, 5, (3+1), 1, 2.Let's check ABOUT (1, 2, 3, 4, 5):A(1) B(2) O(3) U(4) T(5) U(4) T(5) P(3+1) A(1) B(2). Exactly!Now apply this positional shifts to POLES (1, 2, 3, 4, 5):P(1) O(2) L(3) E(4) S(5)4th letter: E5th letter: S3rd letter + 1: 1st letter: P2nd letter: OCombining them in the order 4, 5, (3+1), 1, 2 gives: ESMPO.
