Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.
PUZKR : TPFDZ :: KRTOD : ?
- APNZHL
- BOMYIL
- COMZHM
- DOMZHL
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the relation between the first two letter-clusters: PUZKR and TPFDZ
P(16)+4=T(20)
U(21)−5=P(16)
Z(26)+6=F(6) (since 26+6=32→32−26=6)
K(11)−7=D(4)
R(18)+8=Z(26)
The pattern is: +4,−5,+6,−7,+8.
Applying the same logic to KRTOD:
K(11)+4=O(15)
R(18)−5=M(13)
T(20)+6=Z(26)
O(15)−7=H(8)
D(4)+8=L(12)
The resulting letter-cluster is OMZHL.
