Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
BYWD:DWUF::FUSH:?
- AJQOL
- BHSJQ
- CHTRJ
- DHSQJ
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the transformation pattern from BYWD to DWUF using positional alphabet values:
B(2)
+2
D(4)
Y(25)
−2
W(23)
W(23)
−2
U(21)
D(4)
+2
F(6)
The pattern for the shifts is: +2,−2,−2,+2.
Let's apply this exact same pattern to FUSH:
F(6)
+2
8⟹H
U(21)
−2
19⟹S
S(19)
−2
17⟹Item code Q
H(8)
+2
10⟹J
Combining these letters yields HSQJ.
